    Would have liked the middle Gnu to be a little more cooperative.:D But light was fading fast.

    A beautiful sunset image, Marc. The silhouettes are very sharp, which makes this one extra nice. I like the streaks in the sky to the right; otherwise I might have considered suggesting a cut on that side. Great shot!

    Marc, good silhouette's against a colourful sky. If this were mine, I would maybe bring in the RHS to the edge of the bush.

    Marc - powerful sky with pleasing colors. Congrats on another beautiful image. If I were hanging it on the wall I might evict some of the bugs flying around the middle wilde.

    TFS,

    Very dramatic! Great color and I like the dark clouds in the background.

    This is another stunning image Marc. Only thing left to do with this is print it big and hang it!

    Marc,

    Missed this yesterday, this is the sort of shot I never see. Very nice, I wonder if you could not make the partially hidden Gnu "disappear".

    I had thought and tried it Ken, but it looked a little unnatural.

    Hi Marc,
    Great colors in this and nice, crisp silhouettes. Really like the waves of rain falling on the right side.

    Superb capture Marc! I love the graphic scene, the colours and the "S kind of lines" at the right - not sure what it is, but gives an impression of linking the earth and sky. Well done.
