Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

Hi,
couldn't help myself, had to post a few more 
(click on image for larger version)
In the Bovidae family:
The buffalo is a mean and big animal. Saw a male lion that came second on an attack with a buffalo. The lion look pretty sickly 
This male waterbuck was lying down in some grasses, pity that it had some greenery in the foreground, but still comes up pretty good.
The smallest of antelopes, the dik-dik weighs less then 5kg.
Now the baboon is an interesting creature. On our first day in Botswana, we witnessed a male baboon chasing a full grown leopard. Cornered the leopard under a log. Our guide said the leopard was lucky there was only one male baboon, if there would have been two or more, the leopard would have been killed. At night, the leopard eats the baboons!!
This was the leopard that got chased by the baboon.

I've also got pictures of the topi, Thomson's gazelle, impala, red lechwe and a few more baboons and monkey on pixspot if you want to see a few more.

Selection of the theme for next comp is in the pipeline, checking with experts  - down to two choices.
I didn't want to select Africa as the theme, can't afford to go back so soon

like the pix of the buff and the baboon. good use of oof background.
On the subject of frames, these are all but identical to what I am testing now!! BTW the copyright thingy just works with the alt 0169 but having looked at both side by side, I think I prefer the full word over the letter.

Great images these, I have always had a dream of going to Africa. With Birdies connections (and I'm sure part ownership of some airline or knows all of the pilots) we should be able to have a Maxi-Meet in Africa and everyone can use Birdies 200-440 with a 2xTCE!
geesh, you could take pics from your room with red wine in hand!

Great character poses Radar. I like the waterbuck shot even with the greenery in the foreground you have managed to isolate the subject well. The baboon is a classic pose, I wonder how much more powerful the portrait would have been had it been captured staring straight down the lens barrel. I like the buffalo but it doesn't seem as sharp round the eyes as the rest. Terrific images. Gee! i'd love to get to Africa. Gold Lotto willing it will happen.
