And on top of it is very thoughfully done cropping....

Haven't been able to shoot with my 300mm yet (no safaris here ) , but this is a good indication of what to expect. Incredible shot man! I'm very impressed by the colour saturation and the amount of detail despite the strong source of light behind the trees. The composition is great, you've framed and placed everything nicely - interesting how the vapour trails cuts the photo into two.
With a photo like this you can almost feel the heat!

Thankyou so much!
By the way, even though the lense is a 75-300, it performs as a 120-480mm on my camera. The D60 has a 1.6 focal length multiplier due to its smaller image frame. It's a bugger when it comes to getting true wide angle shots, but it's a blessing for telephoto.

I keep on forgetting about that when it comes to digital cameras - is there anything you can do to offset the change? (in order to achieve a wider shot?). But like you said - the nice blessing is the increase in zoom - 480mm? I'd take that any day

Nope, nothing you can do with digital SLRs to offset that change. Other than buying a wider lense, of course. The larger the sensors get, though, the more this problem will go away. The Canon 1ds doesn't even have this issue and the 1d Mark II only has a multiplier of 1.3 (as opposed to the common 1.6x)

I would have never thought of The Lion King myself (note the heavy sarcasm).
This is absolutely breathtaking, my dear. Very nice.

Wow brilliant sunset, I really love this photo because is so different to other sunsets I've seen on here. My latest submission has the same title lol very nice thought because it does seem like something from the lion king.
