It doesn't look very happy with you, Jerry. A cool portrait. I like the head-on look.

Jerry: you've really captured the essence of these animals in that they are big hulking masses.I like the detail in the face and how it stands out from the oof background. The bits of grass in the mouth are a plus. Congrats! Richard

This is a lot closer than I ever want to be to a Cape Buffalo. Congratulations on your courage and a nice, if frightening shot.

These guys can be pretty mean Jerry, but it looks like it's more interested in chowing down than charging you. Cool image, excellent specs.
