Eric ( if I'm not too familiar calling you by your first name), I've not been on FM forums too long, but always keep an eye out for your posts as they are all simply amazing.

If its not too personal a question, what is it you do for a living as you seem to have a dream job photographing the very best of Africa's wildlife (very jealous), and yet it appears you are from the US ?

Super comps in the wispy grass Eric, two more big winners

Tom

Thanks Tom...these guys don't give the cleanest looks especially when grounded. I try to let the wind move blades of grass away from the eyes...sometimes the magic works

Hi Eric,

The second is my pick and the tail sticking up in the first makes it fun

Morris

Thanks Morris...I do like to get the raised tail in shot...every now and then it works out...probably too many times I have inadvertently cut it off.

Fantastic shots Eric! Love them both, but no 2 gets my vote . Love how the eye is framed ,something about that far away gaze is wonderful.

Thanks Roberta...many times leopards just lay around doing much of nothing so it's always nice getting a "different" look.

Eric- that ain't no hyena!
How can anyone who stares down leopards be afraid of spiders?
Great stuff!
Charlie

Funny isn't it that tooth and claw elicit not a bit of fear while an itsy bitsy arachnid can make me almost drive off the road.

Very, very nice words Alan. I have my own dream job as I love what I do...but it has nothing to do with Africa. I am an ophthalmologist and in fact did fellowship training at Moorfields in London many moons ago. I have been a passionate African wildlife lover since childhood when I told my parents I wanted to be a game ranger....well that was never going to happen but I have channeled my love of Africa and wildlife photography and am lucky to have a very supportive wife who puts up with my "obsession". I have been a number of times but it seems like more as I have been pretty lucky with some of the more photogenic of Africa's animals.
Again thanks for the nice words and everyone calls me Eric unless they are pissed at me and then what they call me can't be printed here
