    Default Family Day Out

    Went off to Bontebok NP yesterday, terrible weather and not much in the way of reachable sightings, but we did see a herd of Bontebok at least 50 strong with loads of young, so that is phenomally good news for this endangered species.

    Luckily we found this small family group of Mountain Zebra

    Love the contrast in colour here Ken, agree with Harshad on the sky removal, I just tried it by rolling this image up and it did suit.

    Marc and Harshad,

    I left the sky in to show what a miserable day it was, typical Sunday in the Western Cape

    Nice to see the miserable Cape weather Ken, it's very similar to ours up in Gauteng lately I like the scene and mood TFS

    Vivaldo,

    Thanks for your comment, it is not always this dull just at the weekend, keeps the tourists away

    A National Park I still need to make my maiden visit to.
    I'm glad you found a good-sized Bontebok herd. Any notable pics?
    I agree with the crop suggestion here and would add some midtone contrast too...

    Morkel,

    No worthwhile Bontebok images, I am afraid light was terrible and none near enough.
