I love the prospective of this shot. It looks like it could be a scene from a prehistoric time.

Javier,

Terrific shot! I leave for Namibia in two weeks and hope to return with something half as good. Congratulations!

Really neat comp; especially like the tree on the right. Kinda makes me think of an elephant high school graduation dance. :biggrin:

Xavier,
I love this! I was in West Africa years ago and hardly saw any wildlife. I like the colors here and the comp is awesome. :smile:

Great shot. I love the wide angle approach here. i agree with bill about the tree. To make a totally different shot, you could crop out most of the blue in the sky to make a different sort of pano. This is a great capture. :toast:

You nailed this shot with the 20mm - the perfect lens for this. It's so well balanced, especially with the tree in the lefthand corner and the pool in the foreground.

Very nice!
