Lining Up

Whilst sorting the photos I took during the last tour, I came across what I'm aware every wildlife-photographer hankers to snap: a group of zebra lining up symmetrical at the water, simply because it "looks so good" . . .

. . . yet I think that other animals lining up similarly also represent an attractive composition - like these male waterbuck . . .

. . . or these impala, although they lined up more haphazardly . . .

. . . whereas these 3 young warthog show what lining up really entails, if also in a "frontal" position . . .

. . . whilst these 3 adult warthog could even "teach" the zebra (above) a lesson in: how to line up sideways (instead of representing a frontal view).

I also noticed how these 3 Whitefronted bee-eaters had lined up on a branch . . .

. . . whereas these giraffes more flocked together than lining up . . .

. . . and these springbok just formed an attractive formation.

[Most of the photos above were snapped in either the Etosha game Reserve in Namibia OR the Chobe Park in north-eastern Botswana - in contrast to the Kruger or Hluhluwe parks in South Africa, where most of my wildlife photos "originate"]
