I see your point Fred, but I bet it hasn't been many accidents you have described in your notes. If it had, they would probably have used another type of car. Interesting to see the vehicle taking you around, and well captured as well.

Your photo is nice and sharp with clear and well defined details, and the exposure is perfect.

The cropping is good and the car and the two men are well placed within the frame. I like the trees in the background as well. I think this is a great looking and well taken photo and with a very good DOF.

Given what your notes say I prefer not to go anywhere in Africa! That vehicle looks to be a bit of a monster truck! Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

So envious that you get to go on so many wonderful expeditions. You get so many great shots. This one is interesting because I get to see what your riding in. Great lighting in this shot and wonderful detail. Nice work.

An interesting bit of information about the safari vehicles. The shot is nicely detailed with beautiful colors. I like the sparse vegetation that shows this is not going to be a jaunt in the jungle.

I'm with you, Fred. I'll take the open car. Better for viewing. I visited Kenya. It was closed with a sunroof. But, it was 1988 and no digital camera, anyway. I did have my 35mm, though. Never saw a big cat.

Nice framing. Your execution is always well done. Love the clouds. Well done.

Fred,
A great photo of your "Jungle Transport" in the Kurger Reservation in South Africa..I too would prefer this despite the potential danger from four legged animals....in other parts of that continent those with two legs can be more dangerous! Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan
