[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken in Namibia's Caprivi Strip just outside of Mahango Game reserve. This is the carcass of an elephant, probably poached as the tusks were not seen. The sight was quite sad and the smell was horrible and was present for about 1 km around.

having traveled and hunted in namibia i understand this scene and have experienced similar scenes first hand. the sepia toning is very good for this image. the composition has almost a crude nature to it which works with the vulgar nature of the poaching. all travel or vacation scenes can not always depict the beauty of a country but maybe the struggle. very nice image.

very interesting picture, very good perspective, it is like a shot from a road movie, the car with the door opened looks surreal, the sephia works well here.

Good photo, in a crude kind of way (which fits perfectly with the theme). It also brings back memories, having spent some time in Angola during '87 in the war that was going on there.

An interesting, meaningful documentary shot. It reminds me of when I was working in Somalia.
Without the explanation, though, I would not have understood much. The picture doesn't speak for itself.

Very graphic and emotional image! I like the composition and the addition of the car. Sepia seems to work very well here.

Image très graphique et émotive ! J'aime la composition et l'ajout de la voiture. Sepia semble fonctionner très bien ici.

first I thought it was a dead person in a sleeping bad, hence ..... end of road.... good photodocumentary, poachers should be shot on sight.

Une image interessante et un peu mystérieuse, avec ce ton sépia bien choisi pour le thème
