Great low angle of view and beautiful reflections - the sunken hide worked well.

The low perspective makes these guys look so much more imposing than the typical higher viewpoint does. The symmetry with the reflections and the animals in the same pose is wonderful. Really nice!

Works for me Monique and good call on having the Buffs off-set. If you have it, then a sliver more at the foot of the image with no vignetting would be great. Cant wait until this time next year and getting back out into the SA bush.

I think this is great-that low angle pulls in a great perspective. The reflection is frosting on an
already tasty cake.

Great shot - the eye-level perspective is great, and I love the reflections.
A hair more room at the bottom would have been nice, so the entire right reflection was included, but I assume you just didn't have it.
Very fine image - congrats on the WP!
