Comment by posthumous:
you really transformed this into a science fiction movie. I hope they make it.

I love what you've done with reality

This is painful. Too emotional. I don't know how and why you were a witness of this scene. The image is more powerful than the truth.

I wonder if this is the same image layered slightly off kilter from itself - disorienting effect, and compels you to look harder - sort of cubist

Shimmering and ethereal, this puts me in mind of a waiting room in heaven. The abundance of delicate tones and outpouring of light add to this feeling. Their faces are rapt, but in actuality there seems to be concern, too, in their expressions. Fascinating technique and unusual scenario. Perhaps there's a backup in Paradise. Highly compelling.

Another amazing wildlife shot. Instead of seeming that you've taken a photograph and later handed it to me to look at, it feels like I'm there as the camera aperture is activated and later handed the photograph to verify my experience. Does that make sense or am I splitting nonexistent hairs? The somewhat impressionistic treatment elevates the hyena to monumental, conveying its essence in addition to its particularity. The strong vignette along with the bright center contributes to the latter effect. The hyena is nicely angled and situated, filling the square well. Nobility is a quality rarely assigned to hyenas, ignorance prevailing, yet here it is.

And there was me thinking it was Lycaon pictus. Whilst it might not have as much nightmarish impact I'd have like to have seen more of the shrub (would have been safer for you as well).

What are they doing? What is going on?
Looks like a double exposure and is emphasizing the multilayered situation.
Do I detect dispair in the body language? Or mere concentration?
A pic that tells more than one story to me

oh my, how close have you been?
They certainly have their important role in the wild but I can't help to have an antogonistic attitude towards them. Your picture certainly does enhance this with the shown posture and this heavy vignette

Way more interesting than a turkey.
