Expert nature photographer Dennis brings the viewer so close to his vibrant subjects that details such as the glint in a leopard's eye or the puckers and creases of an elephant's hide are brought into dramatic and arresting focus. Here are intimate, eloquently composed, and gloriously lit portraits of the animals of Africa that capture the full wonder of their beauty and oneness with their terrain. As Barker observes, Dennis' phenomenal pictures wouldn't be possible without the most sophisticated of photographic technologies, and yet such images also require great artistry--intuition, patience, knowledge, and skill--not to mention luck. Widely published, Dennis has selected his very best African wildlife photographs for this breathtaking volume, a collection that embodies his awe over the continent's magnificent creatures, from lounging lions to hyper hyenas to scrabbly suricates.
