I love the way he stands out from the background despite the colours being so similar. He didn't go a great job of shaving LOL Brilliant James Margaret
Man, you are like the king of the backlit wildlife shot! You use it to great effect. This is absolutely wonderful. A good shot of a jackal is made fantastic by the wonderful golden outline of backlit fur. Especially nice are the whiskers!
