The 2 Elephants protecting their little baby and walking down a forest road makes for a lovely photo. The photographer has captured the perfect moment. There seems to be an elephant behind them. The B&W tones works well.

Congratulations on 2nd

The photographer has done an excellent job with this low level angle photo and the depth of field. The Pumba family is reasonably sharp. The razor sharp tusks of the Pumba in the foreground caught my attention. The 2 piglets in the middle appear to be inquisitive and are moving towards the photographer while the elders appear to be calm and composed

Congratulations on 4th

Wow...that's a large herd of white rhinos marching in sync. The photographer has done a great job composing the photo with the rhinos on the left moving towards the right. I only wish the photo was slightly wider to capture a little more on the left

Congratulations on 7th

I had heard of this Elephant at Yala who comes searching for food in safari vehicles. I have never seen an image of him doing this. This is dramatic: the Elephant with his trunk inside the safari vehicle, the raised leg, and the open mouth. The safari vehicle looks like it's going to topple on the guy hanging out, and the diesel fumes of the safari vehicle suggesting the driver is trying to accelerate and get himself out of this situation

Congratulations on the Win

Amazing photo of this trio of Big Horn Sheep running on the road and towards the photographer. The photo is tack sharp bringing out the details of the sheep's horns. The one on right of the frame caught my attention for his huge horns

Congratulations on 3rd

An amazing photo of these 8 ducks crossing the road while a car waits patiently for the pedestrians to cross. The landscape crop works well as the focus shifts from the ducks to the car and back to the ducks

Congratulations on 8th

I could not help but notice the flies on the side of the white rhino's stomach. I wonder what attracted them. The photo is tack sharp and the warm side evening light adds to the overall mood of this photo

Congratulations on 9th

A stunning image of this tack sharp tiger running on the road. I wonder what caught his attention as his ears are perked up and alert. The photographer has done well by ensuring a high shutter speed

This seems like one agitated elephant. I can picture the Elephant trumpeting and or roaring to make sure the human visitors keep a distance from him. The photo is well composed with the focus on the Elephant and his twirled trunk, the large tusks, and the raised left leg.

Congratulations on 5th

An amazing photo of this white rhino with the head down crossing the road. Her calf seems to be leading the way. The image is tack sharp and the rhino in motion adds an interesting dimension. I wish the photographer had been a little wider. I find the car a little distracting
