    Default Communal Feast

    A communal breakfast feast in Mana Pools at dawn. Baboons feast on the fruits of the strangler fig tree, and many of the fruits drop to the floor, into the mouths of waiting impala and elephants.

    I will be offline for a touch over 3 weeks as we head on to an epic family camping safari to Namibia (including 2 weeks in Etosha).

    HI Morkel -- This is a lovely scene , with a ll the animals involved in the frame . Nice golden hues and the baboon on the branch is adding so much to the frame . That piece of wood on the RHS is bit of a distracting element .

    Have a wonderful trip and hope to see you back soon .

    TFS !

    Great lighting and a set of animals giving wonderful composition. And the baboon in the branch is the final touch.
