Superb capture of the protective behaviour with the adults facing in both directions for maximum coverage of the direction of any attack.  A real story telling image and beautifully presented.  Great work, Rob!

Another exceptional image - very painterly. The full faces and horns of the Wildebeasts and great detail are marvelous here.

This is an amazing photo- as others have said- looks like a painting. Love the grouping and the story-wonderful how these animals know how to protect their young.
