Great to have you back, Susan! Looking forward to another excellent series of shots.
Super job on these, #4 is my favorite, but they are all very fine. What a wonderful opportunity you had. :>)
ummmmm Oh YEA!! Well while you were gone FM_Norcal went to Elkhorn Slough and YOU MISSED IT.......................... And we got Pelican Pictures and Otter PICTURES!!! And all you did was go to some other country and got some big baboon silver backed ape lookin thing pictures!!! So there Susan!!
Alright who am I kidding I'm jealous!! Uhhhh SPECTACULAR and looks like the silverback was posing well!! How close were you?? and Tell us more!!
Delightful shots, Susan. Wonderful detail and emotion!!! Love #4! Eagerly waiting for more and enjoy hearing stories and details about the trip as well.
P.S. To Whaler ---- I "did" buy the tripod in hopes that Sue's talent would rub off!!!
Gorgeous series. I envy you. What a trip! It is but one of the things I wish to do before I die and document it on film. Great shots! Looking forward to more.

The question is, should I even TRY to comment on this?? Hmmmmmmmmm... Well, after deep thought and extensive analysis, I think it's safer to take a pass....
Susan:
Okay, just what do you do for a living... making all these trips to my dream destinations? And glad you do, as this is as close as I may ever get to these places. What an amazing series. Well done indeed.

Thanks Shelley! This was my annual vacation with my husband, not work-related at all. Some of the other trips, though, are tag-alongs to work-related stuff (e.g. Alaska - I am a biologist and I consult at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, so I "have" to go there once a year... )
Hi Susan, what a great trip it must have been. These are all fantastic - perfect exposures, great comps, wonderful expressions and poses. Hope you frame these - what a great wall display they would make.
Susan, nice series. Glad to see how clean the ISO images from the 1DMk3 are. If you don't mind, would you share a bit more about your trip which will always make the pictures more meaningful. Also, I have been gathering information about an African shooting trip in the future.
Awesome images, Susan. You really captured the personality of Guhonda with beautiful detail and clarity. And you've done a truly spectacular job of delivering them to us. Thanks for sharing,
Socrate
