Beautiful Leanne. I agree with Bruce the mushrooms photo just has so many layers of textures.

Lioness at rest

A cuppa!

Thank you so much.

Thanks for the lovely comments. I get such an adrenaline rush when a big powerful male lion walks into the frame of my camera.

Thank you all for the lovely comments.

Wow this was a popular challenge. It is so nice scrolling down the page and seeing so many beautiful and interesting images. Well done to all the participants.

It will look stunning in a print. Thank you for sharing how you re-edited your image, I found it very interesting.  I find the NIK’s Silver Efex Pro 2 very harsh on some my photos. When I do use it, I use it as a layer in photoshop at about a 20 – 30 percent opacity. I use luminosity mask a lot in editing.

Up close to the Lion King!

Good vibes

Hi Bobby, I use a 400 mm lens and this beautiful bull was drinking at a waterhole very close to the road. The Addo elephants are generally used to cars therefore most of the time they aren’t aggresive. The only time I stay far away from a male elephant in Addo is when it is in musth then they become very unpredictable and very aggressive

Rob I love the inclusion of the angry sky, it definitely makes the scene interesting and dramatic. Just watch out for the halos around the church and they are very noticeable on the left side of the church.

A challenge which I found very challenging but I wanted to try something different. My take on a “Dewy Apple”.

I really like this photo, duck and all. 🙂

Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I am really spoiled by having a National Park so close and treasure every weekend we manage to spend there.

Hi Graham, thank you for your lovely comments and yes all the lions in the park have tracking devices on.
