I'm back from a relaxing journey to Eden.
The Eden you see here is located in the Tarangire National Park.
In September Tarangire river is quite dry but still a vital resource for all the animals that live in the park.

πολύ ωραία η φωτογραφία σου

Hi Luca,
Nice to see you back, hope you had a great trip down there. Not many countries in Africa show great landscapes combined with a great population of wildlife but Tanzania does and you show that in a great way. The animals play a certain role in the picture, but never take over the whole landscape, which is one of the strongest points in this picture. Also your vertical composition adds great interest in the whole scenery.
Great shot, really good work on the composition with wildlife and landscape.
Regards, Henk

Hello Luca,
Everything is in your title.
What "space" calm, serenity and beauty.
What also fortunate to be in such a place.
Good evening
Marc

Interesting, Luca. Appealing 'zigzags' (animals, water), beautifully composed. Nice textures too, love the wilderness feel. Thank you.

Ciao Luca, beautiful picture.... veramente bellisima... I like the softness, the light, the colours, a lot of realism in it. Great choice of point of view. Congratulations! chau chau,

Bonne soirée

Hi Luca,

A stunning view, Eden is the right name for it. You've captured and framed this scene perfectly. Tourists in Eden...well, I never...

Benny

Hi Luca!

I am glad to see you back! And I am eager to see more and more pictures from you. I am sure you have spent an unforgettable time in the Park! Your picture is like a whisper... with soft tones of colors, and a hidden (Eden) place to watch the wildlife. A view that makes shudder at it...! Well done!
Regards,
Marine

hello Luca,
a beautifully composed picture. It is like a vertical frieze.I like the colour tones and the meandering zigzag of the river.

Ciao Luca,

Ciao Christian

Eden

magnifique photo, le cadrage est impeccable
amicalement

i like how the animals and river snake through the frame Luca, this could only be taken vertically. The animals look so small in this imopressive landscape.

Hello Luca,

What a wonderful point of view! Great to see the meander where once a river was. And will be the next rainy season. ;-)
Nice to see all those groups of little animals. Like you have placed them there yourself. All with their own little territory. Nice!

Greetings,
Dennis

Luca: another classic; your prowess in diversity of genres is evident. Great wide shot - and you do so much with that single lens. very nice, c

Hi Luca, the meandering diagonal dotted with animals works well in creating a great image, lots of depth, taking the viewer through the image. Marvelous composition. cheers, Steve

I like the composition, good shot, TFS.
