like that.

just compare to how Saeed pose's theirs.

I haven't been to Africa so don't have any.
Much better when the hunted is up near the head
though. That gives a more realistic idea of size.

Beautiful pictures and fine animals regardless of my critisim.

IF you'd care to see how I believe dead game
animals should be posed for pictures.
Just go look over how Dogcat does it.

Perfect! Even the one of a zebra he was behind
at a distance. He was full kneeling at full height, not hiding down trying to make game look larger than it is.

This is my last on the subject. Hopefully, you
can see what I was trying to say.
Seems like I stepped on your sore spot, or
maybe it was just the way I said so.

Either way, I wish you well and still thank you for sharing your hunt and pictures.

As for the photographic comments, these type of shots are fairly common (with hunters posing well behind the animal) in the hunting industry. I suspect this is taught in PH training.

Although it is a matter of personal taste as supposed to absolute correct/incorrect method, I am not a fan of these shots.

My preference is having the hunter up close to the head. This gives a better perspective to the true size of the animal.

I think most trophy animals are magnificent on their own merits without resorting to photography tricks.

It’s like the fish photos that make the fish look big but also make the fisherman’s fingers look larger than his head!

But to each his own.
