Taken last year in the Masai Mara, we encountered a small herd at the end of our safari drive and spent time just watching them graze and browse among the herds of buffalo. The warm light of the setting sun just warmed the images and added that wonderful colour associated with the African savannah land..

Kind regards,

Brett :cool:

That lovely warm light lifts it above being "just another safari shot" very nice; but a bit off the right and added to the left would make it less central and far better compositionally, good work however.

I agree with the above, a bit more room on the left would have been great. The light is fantastic and so is the sharpness!

Nice one Brett, the light certainly makes this one although I got to agree a little more room on the left would be nice.

Speak soon

I'm an absolute sucker for elephant shots as you know, Brett. This one is superbly lit, and the one small nit has already been covered by others.
