Taken with the K20D+FA* 300/2.8. I believe the Tamron 1.4x Pz-AF TC was used in the 2nd and 3rd images... no cropping allowed. This is Division II - Mammals... the first 3 images have never been seen anywhere except by the judges.
Javelina searching for food - I liked the symmetry of the lines in this image:
Another Javelina image - also searching for food:
African Plains Zebras:
Already shown -- cleaned up slightly and exposure adjustments made. This is an African Eland - perhaps 30-40 feet away from me...
I hope you enjoy them! I'll post another set taken with the Canon system sometime soon.
Cheers,
Marc

Reason: broken image link to Zebra photo
Walter, the last shot has the best details on the fur. It was smooth looking but also renders the individual fiber with a closer look. Silky almost. Amazing shot!
I love when I get to see some of your images from your trip Marc. It is really exciting for me. I appreciate you taking the time to post them here. The zebras really pop off the image and the last shot is just perfect. Excellent work all the way around Marc.
