Never ever annoy a female anytime, anywhere. :wink:

They are beautiful shots Marc, and really display the mood of the lady.

Marc - super shooting.

I love the intensity 'BIG CATS' lay on, just as long as I am not the target.

And the 500 gives one an even safer working distance from this hungry damsel.

Marc, great colours, focus, captures.

Wow. Great images.

Very nice. With all that light were you tempted to add on the 1.7? I would like an even tighter shot. You certainly had a great time over there!

......oh yes..... but I am the brave type that would add a 2Xtc to a 500mm..... just to get back a bit more

You've gotta be proud of these, they're fantastic. Even though the snarl in no. 2 is a great beheaviour shot, I love no. 1.

Very sharp, great lighting

Marc,

love the eye contact in the first one.

Bernie and Gary, as long as you stay in the vehicule, they don't consider you a meal. However, if you are foolish enough to step out :shock:

give the camera to someone else for the action shots :twisted:

Great captures, I've been really enjoying your photos Marc,

Cheers,

André

If you had poked her with that stick one more time then she'd really be annoyed! :shock:

Awesome Marc

I LOVE the eye contact in number one. She really has the look of "not happy Jan"

Super shots
