Comment from David Ruhl
The landscape looks a lot like the Mars photos I've seen recently. (maybe the Mars landing is a hoax haha!). I appreciate the notes, it's always good to learn something as well as enjoy the photo.

I miss reviewing your great work -- was hoping to sit down and go through each one at a time, but have had very little time. What is the tiny square behind the right hand oryx, located in the middle of the dark strip. A tiny sign? My admiration for your lovely photography and very Happy Holidays!! Daphne Oberon

Comment from Robert Plain
They look so lonely out there, SG. And the one looks like he's not sure whether to go on or turn back. Very nice storytelling photograph. The deep blue sky is in nice contrast to the drab desert.

A beautiful scene that is masterfully composed. The oryxes are nicely located in that vast desert. I like the rocky mountains at the top and the great colors.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this pair of Oryx in the Namibian Desert. The one on the left looking as if it wanted to keep it's distance from the other one that has it's eyes on you! Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques 7 sharp focus.

Quite a stark, yet beautiful nature landscape posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us a very enjoyable view of your interesting location and animals. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!
