[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Imopala and Red-billed Oxpecker
Photo taken near the Zambesi river.
I like the warm light of the sunset coming up.
And it seems the impala is taxing the little bird.
The oxpecker eats insects and parassites saving impala from their bites.

Velvia 50 film scanned from.

The setting sun sure sends out a beautiful colour for this image. Very nicely captured Andrea, and for a scanned photo I say "Very Well Done..."
So the Oxpecker helps the Impala and gets a free ride and a meal at the same time. Good idea!

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for your critique of my photograph. I think that this photograph is wonderful. I love the colors. My only real critique is that it would have been slightly better if the rear legs were all included.

It looks like one of your first loves is Africa. It is mine also. I have been about six times and want to go back yet again. I have also spent a lot of time in Northern Italy both on vacation and on business before I retired.

Take care,

Arnie
