  • Hi Marc! I know your tele lens but if there was not an artistic eye behind it , this wonderful album would have never been created. The sharpness, clarity, composition of all these shots make it very unique. Appreciated your notes too. "Listen to me" and " You want my photo" are my favorites but there are some worth to be sent to some photographic contest and hope you will do it.Thank you for your "effort&quot ;.......See you next year:-)) Ciao Anna

  • Les sujets et les prises sont magnifiques. Le succès de vos photographies sont méritées. Je m'interroge sur la position du photographe devant sa "proie" :-) J'apprécie particulièrement les léopards, et les oiseaux bleus ainsi que les colombes. (http://community.webshots.com/user/inspiratrice)

    said  of inspiratrice inspiratrice 2003.02.15 at 19:04:52 PST

  • Pour la position du photographe ;-) j'étais dans un véhicule totalement ouvert (land rover). Pour certaines photos, le léopard était monté sur une petite butte ou termitière ce qui permettait d'être en contrebas. Marc Pelissier

    said  of marc_pelissier marc_pelissier 2003.02.16 at 03:45:09 PST

  • Les oiseaux de plus petite taille sont particulièrement réussis (oiseaux bleus, puffback...). La population de la 5ème photo est également magnifique ainsi que la 6ème, s'agit-il des fous de bassan ? Merci pout tous ces chefs-d'oeuvre. Irene alias Inspiratrice

    said  of inspiratrice inspiratrice 2003.02.16 at 07:12:24 PST

  • Pour exprimer le plus justement ma pensée... vos photographies relèvent du professionnalisme allié au naturel du non-professionnel ! Je vous encourage à continuer. Inspiratrice

  • You do know that the black panther is actually a leopard in reality don't you. If you catch him in the right light you can actually see spots on his coat. People think he is a different cat but hes just a shy leopard LOL All so beautiful CallystŒ

  • Thanks Eti for your comment. Well to answer your question, I have to say that I was sitting on his side in our open land-rover and I could almost touch him from were I was but he stayed very peaceful for the two hours I stayed there admiring him. Marc
