[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It seems as if I joined Callie in the Park! This was shot just south of Letaba Camp, on our way to breakfast. We came across a large herd moving south, a remarkable sight! This BIG one was alone in the tall grass, minding his own business, and not minding us at all!

Information about the African Buffalo can be found here on one of my previous postings.

What an ugly brute. Great capture though, especially the way the tongue is rolling around the grass. Good work.
Toni

Magnificent beast. The eyes appear very small for the head size. Crisp clear shot. Nice POV. Well done. TFS

Good capture - tongue and all. Well done. Tim

Very nice portrait, good details, pose and framing.
Well done.
TFS.

From now one I will make sure that I have my smallest lens on when shooting these guys - I do not want a big lens to be mistaken as a rifle :)

You did an excellent job here Riaan. The sharpness is very good and the blacks are well exposed.

Very well done and thanks for posting

Hi Riaan, welcome back. Excellent exposure of this dark beast. I like the composition and its very sharp. Even the mud is sharp. :) Very well done.

A good one - it's very informative with the chewing, the horns covered with mud and the environment. Nice composition. TFS!
