The Great Migration Photo

Photographer’s Note

The extraordinary annual Great Migration of wildebeest and other grazing herbivores across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem is one of the greatest spectacles in the natural world. Over two million herbivores partake in this journey, with about 200 000 zebra and 500 000 Thomson's gazelle behind the main players... one-and-a-half million wildebeest!

I hope you like this picture and I was able to capture some of the dynamism here. The dust in the background is made by the running wildebeests and zebras, which - in my opinion frames the picture well. Please share your comments.

Hi Erika

Lucky you to experience this! There are some many animals to look at here, they are kicking up the dust! The trees are exotic to look at. Great wide open field of view presented here. Good details in the FG. I do like the softness in the BG that the dust has created. Good action and feeling of life and energy captured.

TFS,
Tosca
