This was one of the most interesting encounters we have in a long time across the land of Dikhololo ( North West Province )We have enjoyed our afternoon coffee when unexpectedly a small noisy group of Mongooses arrived in front of us not more than 3 meters away, not paying any attention to our presence. Suddenly I brought an egg and when they saw it the show has begun!!! The eggs are one of the favorites foods for those little mammals.

Here the little girl was encouraging her father to be more brave .... if she wanted to say : " daddy go for it :))

Excellent capture George!
The egg gave a fine result captured with excellent timing to show both parent and young Mongoose in a fine pose. You used the low F well with just the right focusing to give a sharp subject against the diffuse natural BG. Perfect composition. I have no negatives on this one!
Thanks and enjoy your WE,
Ivan

VERY NICE STORY WITH A VERY GOOD PICTURE.
