    Hi Ken, they are cool: three mongooses! There is a white line coming straight down form the lower tail that I suggest you clone out. Oh yeah, where is the cobra? Aren't these the critters that take on cobras?

    Thanks Jay, I had not spotted that, must be the usual dry grass. I think these little ones probably do not go for snakes.

    Nice shot Ken, love the eye contact :) I wonder what it would look like if you cropped a little off the lhs to take them out of the middle ?

    I believe Artie sells Mongoose but I cannot work out how to mount one on my tripod and get them to hold my 500 f4 :eek::eek::D

    I did that when posted this picture on my website, then I noticed the tail on the left.

    Really cool shot with the eye contact from all three... I like their position in relation to one another as well. If mine I might play with a more square crop eliminating some left and right... great as is... congrats!

    I guess they are specially trained.

    Ken,
    Nice image. At the first glance I thought of less space at the left, then noticed the tail. These fellows have posed nicely forming a kind of S curve.

    Cheers,
