Here's the best of my shots for the day... any C&C welcome and appreciated.  2  3  4  5  6  Matthew

Once you have the shots you like look for some bushes keeping in mind similar lighting, shadows, distance or scale, and photo angle. It takes some time and talent, but the end result can make the shot much more natural. Oh, and never mind those folk snickering at you taking photos of leaves or grass while there are all those animals around.
