Just got back from an amazing week in the Maasai Mara with Natures Images' Mark Sisson and David Lloyd.

First time doing proper wildlife photography and using lightroom rather than photoshop really so any CC is more than welcome. These are some I managed to process so far.

Wow, Great set, I like the wildebeest shot best. I give the one on the right a 10 for form. Look how the heels are together with toes pointed, and good height. ha

A nice set of images. For the eagle photo, I'd be tempted to lose some off the right.

Those are some WONDERFUL images you managed to capture there! I especially love the Cheetah family and the lion portrait

Thank you!! Quite pleased with them and I still haven't been through the vast majority of the pictures yet! :)

For that shot, used the EF 500mm F4L IS (MkI) without TC.

Actually I used that lens for more than 90% of my pictures. half the time with the 1.4xTC MkIII too.
