    Hi Andreas -- I loved the colours in the light, looks beautiful. Lovely settings , with the Elephants marching forward and the birds( storks) forming the backdrop. I liked the POV as it is allowing a view to the whole scene.

    Is that iso no. a typo ? Lovely quality for the image, very clean and nice details in the hide as well. Superbly done. Enjoyed viewing this one Andreas.

    TFS !

    A fascinating scene Andreas, I like the colours and the group walking up & the birds in the BG. Very nice indeed.

    Hello Andreas,

    Lovely scene depicting a small herd of the largest land mammals I especially like the colours and warmth here. Well exposed, nice techs...especially ISO

    Positioning of the subjects within the frame is good, albeit one ele is a bit hidden...I had the same issue in the Kruger where lots of eles come to drink at waterholes at one time... Just couldn't - however hard I tried - get one perfect image with everyone lined up the way I wanted:)

    Image quality looks great Boetie. Sensible PP work too, detail and sharpness in good measure - I like this as presented, thank you for sharing!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    What's not to like here Andreas, gorgeous light and the subjects well framed with some cool tones and depth.

    Thanks Gabriela and Steve for your kind comments , much appreciated .

    Gabriela - well i too wished for a better separation between the subjects . But in none of the images i have taken it was perfect , all the time one or two played a different game .

    Steve - had the box right in front of me , yesterday at the local dealer .... ready to go home .... but my credit card did not work . Had to lift the limit to get the new toy payed ..... my bank did not tell me that it will take one working day !!! So within 2 hours .... i am taking the box home !! Today .... and will see what this thing can do for me in the future
    Have you got yours ?

    Both MK2's went yesterday out to pasture and just swopped them straight out for the MK3 with 64 & 128GB cards too, free. Note all Sandisk card readers do NOT work, so there should be ones available soon.

    A nice setting with nice light. Like the birds in the background.
