This one I know! Well done and the ambiance is what really works for me here.

A stunning Kalahari landscape Margo. The composition is out of the top drawer (although a little more canvas on the right would be nice) and the lack of anything other than the eight wildebeest and and the magnificent kameeldoringboom (camel-thorn tree for international viewers) give this image a dream-like quality.
PS: I'm sure viewers would like to see the technical details, including camera and lens.

Everything about this image screams The Africa, wilderness and top shelf image. I love the colors, dreamy like state the best. I would buy and hang this one in a minute.

Wonderful image Margo. About the only thing that could improve it would be a little more room on the right.

Outstanding, as noted above! I only wish that the tree branches did not touch the frame on the right.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I followed your advice and re-did the image allowing a little more space on the right (fortunately had a bit left as cropped about 5% off the original image). Thank you for pointing out that the tree was too close to the frame.

Welcome to the site and I'll have to agree with everyone else...wonderful image. Simple and graphic. Only thing I can comment on would be maybe a little more space on the right so the tree doesn't look clipped. Well done!

Tremendous photo. The mood is captured beautifully and that color certainly speaks "sandstorm". I've only seen one. This is what I remember. Perfectly done.

amazing. I am impressed by this picture.
the colours the tree, everything is perfect. a bit of room on the right? true, would have been better, but we are talking of a small small detail that does not reduce the value of the image
