True.


On the guided tour it's no way to get close to the animals or to freely choose an angle to shoot.


However, shooting down using the ground as the background sometime will work great according to my experience, especially when the ambient environment is distracting. The ground on the contrary is always relatively clean and uniform.


In my case I just got a bad angle with a boring ground...[:S]
