Can't help liking this very striking image Thomas, I think the pose of the preening Oxpecker is the icing on the cake in this beautifully detailed study.

Hi! A really beautiful and interesting image to my eye. I like the non-traditional composition with the gaze of the animal looking outwards ... normally a problem, but it works really well here with how much the Wildebeest fills the frame. I also really like all of the subtle tones and variation of green throughout the image. I particularly like the out of focus foliage in the foreground. My only complaint is that the brightish trunk in the background behind the bird does draw some of my attention.
