Nice article. Love the quality of the images … and those jackels … well, I’d love to have shot that. Getting to the bush for 10 days only each year = I will probably never get that shot.

Mitchell,
This post itself is priceless.
The images certainly do evoke emotion from me, and your advice is generously given. Something I will take to heart – whether shooting at the zoo or in the wild.

Thank you

Buddy,

Thanks for your comment! I would agree that the image is more journalism than art but to me it is purely a wildlife photograph. An image that shows, in a journalistic way if you will, life in the wild. Whether it is a appropriate or not is probably up to each photographer to decide for themselves. I personally don’t like these kind of images all that much purely because I feel that we should rather show the beauty of nature rather than the violence. That being said, moments like these do have some sort of romantic violence that draws us into the moment and tells the story of life on the African plains.

Thanks again!
Gerry

I place this under ‘photo journalism’ rather than art. Actually Art Wolfe had a blog article last month on whether such shots are appropriate. He concluded that it’s part of telling of the ‘circle of life’ story.
