These pictures are truly awsome--but you'd have to question the sanity of someone sitting in a lion's drinking water!!!! He was lucky not to get eaten by something bigger that the insects that nearly caused his death! Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteI think that these pictures are beautiful and he did a fantastic job. This is what I want to go to college for when Im older. We were learning about Greg Du Toit in my art class and my teacher knew that i liked photography so she made me look him up. Im glad she did. :)

Thanks for your comments, Cheyanne and Bridget. Cheyanne, if you like wildlife pictures, you might like stuff by Frans Lanting and Thomas Marent, too. (If you haven't already seen them). They both have some lovely books out- they're very expensive, as I recall, but your school/public library might get them and loan them to you... They both have websites, i think, so you can see some of their stuff onine. Thanks for visiting weirdbeautiful.
