Photographer's Note

".. The only living things which look as if they really belonged to it are the Wild Animals. Between the animals and Africa there is an understanding that the human beings have not yet earned .."
Laurens van der Post, Venture to the Interior, 1963

from www.serengeti.org

I tried to use a more artistic approach in post editing.

A rare and impressive shot. Perhaps too "greyish", but however nice contrasts.
Kind regards

Hi Andrey,
The simplicity and symmetry caught my eye. There is no extra element to distract us from this nice clean composition. This is composed with an artful eye, and I am surprised to see nobody has commented on this atmospheric work. The sepia tone works well, it enhances the streamlined effect, and also the scene of the Serengeti.
Cheers
Justin

Hi,

Your post editing has created an artistic presentation of an imaginative shot. There is a soft tone to the composition, while te subject is sharp.

TFS,
May
