Two Portraits in one Annick!
An excellent portrait of an Impala decorated by a fine capture of a Red-eyed Oxpecker in its natural habitat.
Great technical quality and composition.
TFS this beauty,

Hi Annick. This is what you call taking your friend for a ride. Good timing on your part to captured this . I am sure it happens a lot in the wild. You have captured good detail in the pair. with natural colours. Unusual eyes the birs has.
Well done TFS.

Hello Annick,
Another stunning cpature this time two subjects in harmony.The details are wonderful in this intimate portrait of the male impala and the red billed oxpecker that has managed to find itself a perch.

I had no idea an impala's eye was so beautiful, they look like they are drawn with "kohl".Brilliant lighting, contrasts and sharpness.
Very well done.
TFS & Cheers

Wow, this looks unreal! What an amazing picture. Both portraits are excellent, the impala looks rather familiar but the bird is incredible. What a beautiful combination of brown plumage, red eye and a yellow eye ring. This is something I could not even imagine. (isn't world of nature just beautiful ?) Thanks for sharing such an amazing photograph.

Best Regards,

Martin
