dpc V nice. Not over-sharpening! Ha ha. Trying to avoid the sharpening police are you.
Alan V nice. I can see some mothers who would defend to the death.

Thanks. Our planet needs them all and many are threatened, sadly.

Hi Alan.
Very cool shot, but I think I might have wanted 560mm on a crop giving an effective 896mm then and only then would I have felt far enough away, they can run at 25 mph, I'd want a really big head start back to a vehicle.
Cheers, Graham.

Hi Kieth.
Sorry to hear about your cat getting caught up in the food chain.
Cats have a great sense of humour, we just don't get it!
Our old girl is deaf and she will start by talking at us quietly then when we don't reply she just gets louder and louder, we try to get her to look at us when we talk back but she doesn't find the silent movie (lips moving with no sound because she is deaf) thing funny either! :
Cheers, Graham.

I quite agree... But I was in a situation in South Africa (Addo Elephant Park) once where we stopped at a good distance of a large family of African Elephants when just 5 meters behind our rental VW Polo suddenly the rest of the family appeared out of the brushes... I was so busy looking for a way out that I didn't even consider taking pictures when this group walked past our tin can - two feet between me and the passing elephant...
Luckily they were friendly and not agitated - not really interested in us - and I made sure I did not arouse them in any way
... and these African ones are BIG (picture taken earlier

Hi Wiebe.
Nice shot.
Wow, that must have triggered so many emotions all the way from fear at being so close to excitement at seeing them so close! ???
Being in a tin can when the thing you are afraid of is a giant crane with a tin opener attached doesn't seem to offer much reassurance!
Cheers, Graham.

+1 Don't have to worry about getting a low vantage point; they tower above you!

Thanks guys. These are wild in Windsor Great Park, UK. There are around 500 of them in a massive area and you can hear the Stags from miles away when rutting season starts.

Hi canon1dxman.
Thanks for that explanation, sounds like a fantastic place to visit with a good opportunity for seeing these fine beasts.
Cheers, Graham.

Where a low vantage point may not be hard to achieve with elephants, you'd need scuba gear and water tight camera enclosure to get this one from below
Gray Seal surfacing (may also be a Harbour Seal... I'm no expert)
The speed of these animals in the water is exceptional - even with a 7DmkII I got only 2 shots where it was surfacing, with only this one head out of the water...
Wiebe.
PS for Jack Douglas -- this one is slightly bigger - will it open in a separate window automatically now?

@ Wiebe Lovely.
Yes there seems to be a size threshold around 2k but now it doesn't matter (although one click is still handy)

Hi clbayley.
Very good, the chain link fence can't be helped, it was there and so was the hare.
Cheers, Graham.
