Facebook Pic of the Week: 19 to 25 January 2015

The theme for this week on our Facebook Page was #LoadsofLeopards - and boy did we receive a great deal of amazing photos of this elusive and beautiful big cat!

This monochrome portrait by Mees Kuiper really caught our attention - the tones, detail and the blotchy bokeh in the background really makes for a captivating portrait. You can see more of his work on his Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/meeskuiperphotography

Facebook Pic of the Week: 20 to 26 January 2014

It's time for another backlogged post, folks. Thanks for bearing with us.

The theme for the week of 20 to 26 January was all about our African feathered friends - the birds. The theme name was "African Birdie", using the hashtag #AfricanBirdie.

Our pic of the week shows a normally shy and elusive (yet beautiful) bird - the African Green Pigeon - captured in Botswana by the talented young photographer from the Netherlands, Mees Kuiper. You can check out his 500px profile here: http://500px.com/MeesKuiper
