The dry season.

This Buffalo was running around less than 30 hours ago, until it met the Mwamba
Lion pride, numbering 20+.
It's tough in the dry season @ Sth Luangwa Nat Park - Zambia.

Hi Marc,
The lighting on the skull and the FG are very nicely composed. Since you do not have the tops of the distant trees.......my only recommendation on this is to crop out the entire sky (try this with the browser & scrolling it out).....this puts the emphasis solely on the skull and the dry earth.........becoming a very powerful nature story.

Thanks Roman

I was thinking the very same thing myself, do I include any of the sky/bushes or not?
I will try another version later.
