Photographer's Note
We were walking in a line in the middle of a dry field, surrounded by the branches of Okawango river. There are many trees, pastures and savage animals, not protected inside a park, but free at their own risk. We saw this group of elephants in the other side of the field. They were very far and I used my zoom to get them. The light was very low, their walking put many dust in the air and the colors of sunset painted the dust in pink.
I didn't colorized this image, these are the real colors of the moment.

Estávamos caminhando em linha por meio de um campo árido, rodeado por braços do Rio Okavango. Esta area é repleta de árvores e pastagens e muitos animais selvagens vivem ali, sem a proteção de um parque.
Vimos este grande grupo de elefantes do outro lado do campo, bem longe da gente e usei o zoom da minha câmera para apanhá-los. A luz estava baixa e o pó que eles levantavam era colorizado pelos tons do pôr do sol. Não usei qualquer efeito para colorir a foto, são cores naturais.

Elephants raising dust, what a phenomenon, Jorge - like tanks crossing the willow.
Pink tone is beautiful, made the scene so unique.
Boa tardes,

Olá Jorge!
Um belo momento do dia! O pôr do sol é perfeito em Africa e aqui gosto da fila de elefantes. As silhuetas ficaram bem com essas cores.

Hello Jorge,
Very nicely shoot the bunch of elephants and they kept dust when they walked, this is the view of elephants in foggy condition. Good composition and well framing.
