| I really like the look of your wildlife photos -- they make me think I'm browsing through a 1920s National Geographic ... |

| I'll hate myself in the morning, BUT the hyena conjures such mixed feelings: is he/she part of us or something so on the edge that we resent and fear whatever edge it may have. I ramble. I remember a novel set in or near Ethiopia/Abyssinia where it was the duty of a certain townsman to feed the hyenas at the periphery; if not ... Yes, the hyena needed meat, but he also took care of the garbage. The important thing is that this arrangement was part of a system which woe betide he/she who failed it and everyone else... The first I knew of hyenas - born in the USA well before the presidency of the current hyena - was the phrase "laughing hyena." Laughing. Sort of. Maybe one day I would know more. |

| 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). |

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 |

| Brave you! I bet you could smell his breath from where you stood. The low fi/poor light shot is complementary to the theme of endangered wildlife. |
