The 3rd one is my favorite also, looking forward to you posting more when you go through them again.

Thanks for the feedback, Walt! I am hoping that I can pluck a few more decent ones from the bunch.

I agree, 3 is the cats meow. In 2, the lump of red meat used to breath I assume.
Thanks, Ben! Yessir - that used to be a fairly large female impala prior to leaving this mortal coil. Simply amazing how these cats can climb these trees with a kill in their mouths!

Man! You just couldn't give me a color #3 could ya!
My pick is #5, the color version.
#2 is very nice and shows his/hers full tummy from his leftover snack behind him. Nice touch I think.
Thanks for sharing all these spectacular images from your trip Jeff. You got me wanting to go there someday. It must be an incredible experience to be among all the various majestic animals that you encountered.
If you have trouble picking which ones to print, post all your finalist in a poll thread and we'll vote to help you choose.
You can send me a 500mm f/4 as a token of your appreciation for such a great idea.
Good stuff buddy! Seriously good stuff.

Thank ya, Dave - very much appreciated and thanks for all the feedback you've given me! I'm sorry, but the color doesn't hold a candle to the mono IMO! I processed a color one previously just wasn't feeling it. I hope Ben doesn't jump ship and go for #5. ***edit: okay so I do like the blood around the mouth in the color - that's it though!!***
Seriously - try to make it happen. It's a life-altering experience - Scott can attest to this!! Well worth the 30+ hours of travel and the large expense. The pictures are great, the experiences are amazing. Cool idea about a poll!
Ugh, I never thought I would lust after 500 f4 as much as I currently am. Let's hope that Siggy 500 is a killer piece of glass. Not that I've got that kind of cash lying around!

I like the idea of a pole thread for these. Pick your own best 5 or however many you can fit into a pole and let us vote. Or do more than one pole, it will be very hard to get down to just 5. Even 20 might be tough.
It's a super cool idea - as long as people are cool with it. Not trying to spam the forum and all!

These are great.
First over second for reduced grossness.
#4 is excellent
#3 is a bit tight for me, but just nits. These are all great, Jeff!!!
Scott
Ahhhh Scott - such is nature! On a previous day another vehicle got to see one of the leopards make a kill - epic stuff right there. You trying to pool our salaries into lotto tickets so we can both head back soon?
