To cute Tom!

Do you think they would like some lunch?

[sparker1]

Very nice shots, guys. I love the lion and cub. Nobody will get tired of pictures like that.

[Giant]

Wow, both those are great!! Being from South Africa, I just love lions though!!

[Scottes]

Always love the cubs, Tommy, and that's a great shot.

Moppie, I have to admit that this shot has made my "goals" list - I want a shot like this. (Granted, though, I want it with a wolf...)

Anyway, here's one of my favorites of the year:

Ahhhh, I love dogs!! They look like they'r smiling!! Great!!

[Scottes]

Ahhhh, I love dogs!! They look like they'r smiling!! Great!!
Would you still like it so much if I told you they were wolves?

:-)

[Giant]

I thought they were, sometimes its hard for me to tell. But I love them anyway, even if they are wolves.

:D

[Giant]

Oh wow, that is awsome! Very rare to see mountain goats.

[Scottes]

That's an awesome shot Jonny. Very nice indeed.

Perhaps not the best Photo ever, but I love the expression of concentration on my puppy's face. When it comes to Retrieving, there is nothing really like a Lab. This is Ruby, she is my "puppy" at a year and 1/2. Most of you have seen her and my other girl, Lily, who is five and 1/2. (Yes, she caught the ball!)

[Giant]

Awsome shots!! Man I cant wait to get my new DSLR!!

[boomer1959]

Great shot of those Lions Tommy :D
Here is my fave.

Ninja Birding again, Richard?

Sweet pic. Wonderful animal, nice pose, great catchlight, and the bg is superb.

[Giant]

Wow, great pics guys!!

Love the owl!!

I think this is my favorite. He just looks so happy.

Here's my iguana-shot of September this year....:

http://members.lycos.nl/michaelkiewiet/SD_Zoo/SD_Zoo_37.jpg

[Wazza]

I think the reason I like this one so much, was how funny it was to see me so scared less than a metre away from these lions. All that was seperating us is a fence, which the camera shot through, and there's also an electric fence just above and below. Anyway, a couple of times the lions roared at each other, and I literally jumped backwards.. as did the other onlookers.

Click for larger

It's pretty much the same for this one as well. So close, I could feel my heart racing. Even knowing I'm fairly safe behind the fence.
Very little zoom. It's really only 30cm away.

There's some very nice pics from everyone else. :)

Not really my favorite, but one of them. I've been waiting to see if someone else would post a shot of this animal.

[RockOne]

G'Day all.

This would probably have to be the favourite animal photo I've taken this year. Probably not much chop technically (its also been heavily cropped), but it seems so dynamic. Shot on EOS300D.

[Giant]

Oh I love cats!! Thats amazing!!! Nice shot!

[tommykjensen]

So many fantastic photos - beautiful :)


Happy New Year ! :) :) :)

[Moppie]

The running kitten is just awsome, great panning technique.

tommykjensen I do love your Lions, you seem to capture thier moods purfectly. :D

Scottes good luck getting that low an angle with a wolf, just make sure you leave instructions in your will for it to be posted here ;)

charlesu :oops: :oops: :oops:


The rest of the photos are all great!

Its good to see such a wide variety of differnt wildlife from all over the world, especialy when they are all looking so good :)

[sparker1]

This was taken along Cassiar Highway in British Columbia. The mare continues grazing while the colt nurses, even though being "dragged" over the small tree.

The running kitten is just awsome, great panning technique.
Thanks. Not sure if its so much of a technique as a stroke of luck. There are many more failures than successes.http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

[Ed Rotberg]

It's hard to pick just one. Here's is a fairly recent one that I'm pleased with.

http://www.edrotberg.org/images/GBH%20Flight.jpg

I'm trying to decide if I want to enter a photo into Timmyquest's contest, but it's so hard to choose just one :(.

[Scottes]

Ed, that's simply superb. Outstanding.

[defordphoto]

Ed: Sell it. I'd buy it. I want it on my wall. I have a small collection of Blue Heron shots but nothing close to that.

I am inspired! Time for another trip to the local game preserve.
