Danke!

Fantastic and very creative. I find it difficult to take an over-photographed topic (e.g. safaris) and get something original. I would argue that's exactly how great photographers make a name for themselves. That photo belong in that category. Congratulations.

Thank you very much Patrick!
I feel I suck at street, but I still like shooting and sharing just the same... so I had no qualms trying wild animal shots and see what I might catch. As a matter of fact, I dabble in all kinds of photography directions, although (even at dA alone) I see artists' work that is breathtaking and seemingly unreachable for me.
At the end of the day I am satisfied if I like looking, more than once, at a couple of shot from my last shoot. And I am very happy when others like to look at them as well.
Again thank you for your wonderful encouragement, it is much appreciated!
I have seen that you were in Africa at a similar time as I... nice coincidence! And you did what I was too afraid to do in Kenya... go around and mingle, with some great results!

You are welcome. dA is an amazing place as it is possible to find some real talent (like you) relatively easily.

Some of your feelings I share too ("work that is breathtaking and seemingly unreachable for me").

Were you in Kenya for vacation?

Also, thank you for all the comments and suggestion you posted on my photos. I am always striving to improve so critical feedback is always welcome!

Patrick

Thank you very much Patrick, I feel very flattered.
dA is a wonderful place to develop, be inspired and become part of a community!

And I do enjoy your work vey much, so the pleasure is all mine.
