    Ken - I agree with Dumay. Nice sense of intimacy, side lighting works well. One of your best recent images.

    TFS,

    Awesome...that is really a "fresh" one - I've yet to see one this young in the wild. Gotta love the Addo open spaces (in places, hate the Spekboom thickets!)

    Thanks everybody for your kind comments, they are much appreciated.
    It was a great sighting for us we spotted the herd arriving from quite a distance and spotted the youngster tottering around (Canon Binoculars).
    So we just waited for them to get nearer around 2 hours, so right place, right time. patience and light were the main contributors to this shot.

    WOW! Your patience definitely paid off. It is so hard to get a nice clear view of a baby and you nailed it.

    PATIENCE - what an important word/concept in photography (and lots of other pursuits too!). Wonderful image; I'll get down there someday!

    "Nature Interpreted" - Photography begins with your mind and eyes, and ends with an image representing your vision and your reality of the captured scene; photography exceeds the camera sensor's limitations. Capturing and Processing landscapes and seascapes allows me to express my vision and reality of Nature.
