    Compositionally this works really well Ken. I like the tree on the right. 2/3rds good head angles on the Elands.

    Hi Ken,
    I like the light, the POV and your composition. It is nice to see the old bull in this herd.
    Thanks for sharing and with many thanks,
    Mark.

    Great comp and light, I am gonna mention the fact the lying down Eland takes away, but I know more than most that nature is not always posing the way you want them!

    Well I for one could not disagree with that statement, but if you got the perfect pose all of the time it would be both boring and unnatural
