    Default New Year - New Beginnings (Cuteness Alert)

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Thought I'd kick my posts in 2011 off with this Impala lamb I photographed in the Kruger Park in 2009.

    The fragility and innocence of this young antelope reminds me of the "freshness" of starting a new year.

    Pretty new to the world Mork. Good to get a clear shot of him too.

    Did you manage to get to the venues you were planning to get to, for a couple of shoots?

    Cute and cuddly! That has got to be one of the cleanest animals I've ever seen, looks like its ready for the livestock show! Real nice texture in the fur. Together with the green grasses it does give off the feeling of a fresh, new start.

    Cute with cracking detail on this one Morkel, might try to get some more detail out of that eye perhaps.

    A good one to start the year of with.

    Cute for sure Morkel. I do agree that a slight turn of the head towards you would have put this over the top.

    Morkel - AWWWW! Big cuteness factor here. Great comp and I like the vibrancy of the habitat. Can definitely tell it's a summer shot.
