    Must be nice to photograph a bird with plenty of midtones in that harsh sun! You achieved good details on the feathers, feet, and face, which isn't looking at me--that being a minor detriment. I'd like a lower angle but am aware of the requirement to shoot from one's vehicle in many parts of Africa.

    Craig,

    In Selous GR you can actually get out of your vehicle in some areas, but I have to confess that I rarely made use of this facility:)

    Kiran,

    The pose is what I liked most, thanks.
