Great interaction. Looks like they are bickering over the rump. A bit hot in places on the birds and the grass stalk over Z's nose distracting. Still, an 8 as I understand the difficulties and nuances of true wild photography.

Nicely done. One of the more unique shots in this challenge.

Cool scene and great choice of subjects for this challenge. I particularly like the pose of the one who seems to be in the process of landing.

Looks as if they are dancing on his back -- great sense of movement here without the motion blur I might expect. Nice that the birds were against the dark trees -- sets them off so well. Lovely capture.

Thilo, really good result in the years toughest FS.
Whilst I thought this Lion was photographed in the bush, I refrained from expanding my comments more than what you see below as there are so many captive Lion shots online that it is hard to be sure. I did however put my money where my mouth is and gave this an 8. 1 off for the cropped ears and one off for the lack of engagement with the camera. 8 for exposure, colour, tones, great dof and detail on the eyes and what I believed to be a Lion in the African veld.

I noticed you only found useful those comments that expounded beyond "nice shot".

Superb detail, perfect depth of field, background colours in perfect harmony with the subject.
