Dear Loot
This is a great image! It reminds me so much of some scene taken from a Walt Disney movie where all the animals are friends or as you will say "buddies". I remember this day we captured these critters so well. It was such a pleasant surprise when we saw them and to me it was as if we where watching a movie. Once again I must compliment you on some very educational reading material. Your camerawork is praiseworthy, as the image is sharp, the composition is great and the pose you captured of the two of them side by side exceptional. An image that deserves all the compliments it is about to receive. I very much like the variety of earthy tones in the image. Thanks for sharing, and I am so glad you posted this one. Love.

This is an amazing picture and worth millions, especially when you rarely post on TN these days, Loot. It is difficult to believe these two could be seen looking like bosom buddies together.
Nevertheless, it is a wonderful scene; the sense of comaraderie is more than manifest in their relaxed postures. We can only imagine what these two could be viewing together with such focused concentration.
I also like the almost sepia tone to this picture.
Thank you very much for the detailed note too.
Best regards.

Hi Loot.
My warm congratulations on 5th anniversary of membership at TN. I wish you great health, more free time and shooting and many new pictures and posts here. Captured scene is unbelievable. I like unusual brick colours palette, superb diagonal composition of the shot, nice reflection of all features of a cute pair of animals. Bravo.
Alexei.

Hello Loot,
Nice to see again one of your shots. A very vivid and original one, indeed. The termite mounts seem to have a lot of inhabitants and this double apparition made your and our delight. Very funny to see them look in the same direction..lovely and natural shot. Thanks also for the interesting note.
Have a nice weekend
Kind regards

As a scene this image really deserve a special award Loot! A truly and honestly believe that special moment like this one can be seen and taken in photographs very rarely! Bravo! Your notes are pleasantly presented and it is a pleasure to read them. In the workshop I am presenting you an alternative image with some color corrections. In my opinion the colors in the original are a bit unbalanced for unknown reason. Thanks for sharing Loot and have a wonderful time completing your project!

Hello Loot,
A superb capture!
The DOF from a fine POV is just right to show both the Lizard and Dwarf Mongoose with fine sharpness. The BG and colours are great too.
Though both are neutral to each other I guess that they may compete a little when it comes to prey.
Thanks for sharing this great image and congratulations on having completed 5 years on TN. I hope you continue to post and keep an eye on us for a long time to come.
With kind regards,
Ivan

Loot,
Great to see you on TN again - it has been a while my friend.
I love the S65 and it has been productive for me over the years too.
I especially love the choice of subject and note - excellent work. The image has a great POV which is makes this image even more unique and deserving of such a rare opportunity to have these species together. The sharpness and detail of subjects is excellent. Your DOF, OOF BG and lighting are well done.
TFS,
Sheriff

Hello Loot,
WOW!!! What an incredible picture!!! I really thought that Mangoose cannot stand any type of reptiles... I'm really impressed by this picture showing us a so great example of tolerance. I like the warm color even if George's workshop works too. Excellent POV and good choice of aperture letting us see correctly both "friends" in focus. The bg is splendid too. More room on the left would have been interesting too I think...
Great pic and TFS!

Amazing capture Loot! The realtion of the 2 living sympatrically together is really mind blowing especially knowing a mongoose's reputation for putting up a real good fight.

Dear friend, Loot,
Your "buddies" are a must for my theme "Animals' Behavior."
Apologies for the varied spelling of Behaviour. It depends on which computer I use, and if the automatic spell-correction kicks in or not :-)
Your photographic technic is perfect , and probably - you knowing so well the Behaviour of the animals - you know when to wait for the perfect shot (like a tennis champion)...
The natural colours are a bonus.
Thanks so much for sharing your love and knowledge of the bush
Best wishes
Ingrid
