    One of the highlights whilst staying @ Tafika camp is an early morning flight over the Luangwa River via micro light, nothing like it to clear the cobwebs!

    C & C most welcome

    Cheers Marc

    Marc,

    Interesting perspective on this one, the light is certainly different!

    Just wondering if a tighter crop maybe more effective, I am also sure that somebody may suggest cloning out the white spots on the water.

    Love the ripples

    Marc - interesting to see shots taken from the microlight. I am not sure about the comp. I think I would prefer more below than above as it appears he is moving in the direction of the llc.

    Marc,

    Brilliant composition. As Ken suggested I might go for cloning the white spots. Also I really like the view/shooting angle that shows full hippo.

    Excellent work.

    Hi Marc, for me this is more about the setting/scene, therefore I wonder if bumping up the Saturation might give more depth/punch to the overall feel, but excluding/masking the Hippo. However as you were there, you know the look & feel you want to convey.

    Certainly the micro light will be more gentle first thing in the morning than stepping onto the skid of a chopper.

    Nicely done.
