Re: A few more African Safari shots
Just wonderful. Superb photography.
To anthropomorphise, the look of sheer joy and satisfaction on the faces of the hippos in the mudbath, is a beauty to behold.Last edited by Donald; 20th November 2015 at 08:02 AM.

Re: A few more African Safari shots
Love these shots, Mark. Great frozen action in #4 and #6. I agree with Donald re the hippos, they look as happy as ......well, hippos in mud!

Re: A few more African Safari shots
It has been a long time since I have seen a series of photos with this many images when so many of the photos are so strong. A great mix of portraits and animals interacting with their environment.

Re: A few more African Safari shots
Great set, Mark. You have captured all of the animals in striking poses, but that hippo in #5 is the standout for me.

Re: A few more African Safari shots
Dunno what to say that hasn't already been said Mark,
My favourites are #4 and #6 for their great timing, but all are technically superb.
Well done with these, Dave
