Say that 5 times fast! Here's another shot from our recent South African trip. We found this guy just before sunset and spent some time with him. Photographed in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve

Very artistic, Nate. I like the bold use of what would ordinarily be considered defects to lend intensity to the image. :toast:

Hey Nate,

The rim-lighting on the subject is nice - and no way am I ever going to try to say that title fast even twice. The region above and to the left of the head of the subject is a bit aggressive for my taste...but tough to do anything different with it...

Cheers...

Brad
