This is a magical picture which happened when i was about to click the Predator (google screensaver) and the next slide of Prey appeared exactly on time! now i can say it is my most admired click!
robberflies (Asilidae) are impressive predators capable of subduing prey larger than themselves, often in flight ... this one (possibly Efferia sp) has been photographed in the Carlsbad National Park in southern New Mexico

This week, I decided to begin exploring the wolf. I wanted to emphasize the predatory nature of the character and I wanted to begin setting a visual tone for my concentration that would be both dark and slightly surreal.
The shoot required a good deal of set-up and prep. I started out with eye-liner. I borrowed some form my sister and did everything I could to line both my lower and upper lid. Then, I took a cork, set it on fire, and rubbed the ashy remains on my face to try and make it look grungy and dirty. Finally, I took a different, semi-liquid eyeliner and apparently used it incorrectly because I just made patches above and below my eyes and then rubbed them in to try and create dark circles. I wanted to pair this with the boosted eye color to make me look more animalistic and unreal.
I chose some dark, somewhat shabby clothes that I had and then threw on my grey wolf spirit hood. For the background, I threw a dark blue blanket over my shower door and then set up the camera on a tripod on the sink.
This is the only one of my three photos for the week that I originally intended to take from the beginning. The initial shot was just me standing in front of the blanket, trying to look foreboding. I wanted to try out an arm composite since the first one turned out so well and because I thought it would be good to contribute to the surreal tone while also revealing the wolf as both sinister and as a predator.
I really like the overall idea and I like the composition, but I struggled a lot with execution in editing. To lay the pictures together, I set the blending mode on lighten and then tried to erase overlaps but I had a really difficult time not leaving halos everywhere. I spent hours, but this seemed to be the best I could get. I could potentially see this photo as the first full reveal of the wolf, allowing us to be fully introduced to the character.

African Lion ... male named John
Panthera leo
Unlike other cats, lions live in social groups called prides that consist of a handful of females and their young and a coalition of two to three males. Males protect the pride and their territory by roaring and scent-marking as they patrol the area.
As the dominant predator on the African savannah, lions can take the largest prey of any other carnivore in the region. Working cooperatively as a team, the lions stalk and surround their prey, getting as close as they can before launching an attack. They are successful in only one of every four hunts.
Fact File
Where to see them: Africa Exhibit
Height: Male - Up to 4 ft, Female - Up to 3.6 ft
Weight: Male - 330 to 530 lbs, Female - 270 to 400 lbs
Lifespan: Up to 18 yrs in the wild
Habitat: Savannah, arid woodland, and scrubland
Diet: Primarily hoofed mammals such as gazelles and zebras; some small mammals, birds, and reptiles

Have a nice day everyone
Though NOT rare you don't see the Serval Cat very much as they are nocternal. We found this one early in the morning (belly still wet with dew) finishing up it's nightly hunt. Great experience to be able to see and watch this fantastic creature in it's natural enviroment. Shot on the plains of the Masai Mara, Kenya
