Namibia is one of my favourite places. Just some incredible landscapes. I visited way before my SLR days but nevertheless got some really good pictures with a little Canon APS camera so I really look forward to seeing some proper pics. Please post lots.

Consumate use, Davex, of differential focus, depth-of field and image editing tools (Photoshop?) to produce a stunningly realistic photo-montage . There remains no trace of the cage bars or edge-artifacts where the 'beastie' has been 'cut-and-pasted' onto the background image. The way the background image selected creates a 'photo-realistic' sense of proportion and perspective in relation to the main subject is truly remarkable. To all but the 'trained eye', the resulting image is indistinguishable from the 'real thing' .
If the other 799 composites are of a similarly high standard, then it is not difficult to understand why you have not been active on the forum in recent weeks
Yours in awe,
Jon
P.S. Apologies for the 'tease', but I had no alternative: the previous posts had said it all

Thanks for the comments gents. Sorry Jon, no PS involved, image just cropped.
Here is another one of a different Cheetah, again no PS other than crop and slight sharpen;
I really like the way this shot illustrates the animals camouflage.
Am going to start working through them all methodical next week, to many jobs to do this weekend

I had a quick go at that cheetah to show what I meant - http://i786.photobucket.com/albums/yy148/willdb_photo/cheetah.jpg?t=1304874214
I hope you don't mind. I tweaked the levels histogram and played with duplicate layers in 'multiply' mode.
