Very close, indeed. Personally, I'd like the head just a bit more in focus, but it's a very nice image.

again, to me this is an entry that is trying to impress a given emotion based on a title with a random image, not actually capturing emotion in the entry which is what the challenge said. i'm sure it will still score well though, because this is DPC and this is a pretty picture.

Nice close up but the direct light is a little harsh.

There's a line in "Born Free" (I think) which says once you've been to Africa, you always want to go back. I was there when I was a young teen, and it has haunted me since to want to return. This almost makes me feel like I'm there. Congrats on the tt.

I had 2 goals when we left for Africa. Summit Kilimanjaro and photograph a Black Rhino running towards me. As I stood on the roof of Africa and basked in the glory of achieving my # 1 bucket list item, I wondered if I could knock off two items and capture the Rhino. Unfortunately the Rhino were a long way off and the only activity they produced was spontaneously lying down!
So, I was happy one morning when we set on the Serengeti, to see these Wildebeest running! Our driver, respectful of the animals and our safety and safe return would not accommodate my wish to get in front of them for a more dramatic shot but I happily settled for the side view.
Africa is wonderful. I also got a nice shot of a lioness and I debated long and hard over which one to post but this one was my first choice so I went with it.
Thank you for all your votes and kind comments!
