    Hi Andreas, trust things are on the mend and you will be soon back to fighting strength.

    A rather jolly image, looks like he's out for a jog. Can't comment on colour too well, but looks like you have the detail. That hint of blue in the top RHC works nicely and helps to keep the overall cloud at bay. A nice image, can't really say much more.

    Look forward to seeing you back on a more regular basis soon.

    TFS

    I really like the three-dimensional feel of this. Great light, sky and motion.

    Wish you a good recovery!

    Really cool image Andreas and nice processing work. Do you have more space all around? Not sure if it's just a wee bit tight IMO. Colours look nice and rich as they probaby did that day with all the sun.

    Nice one

    Good to know you are recovering! I like this a lot - the hint of blue sky adds and the vibrant colours are inviting. Where in Addo exactly? Looks like the open plains around the northern region?
    Good use of the wide angle lens here. Could perhaps use a very slight "opening of shadows" on the face?

    Nice work capturing an interesting pose from the elephant. Elephant definitely on a mission.
