Desolate Traveller

[Morkel Erasmus]

Forgive me if I am boring you with all these wildebeest images - I know it's not as exciting a subject as predators and gracious antelopes :);)

This is another perspective on my previous image of this sighting - Loneliness (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=50679).

I zoomed closer here for another perspective. The light was harsh but I deemed it fitting to show the harsh existence in this arid place.

Also processed as an HDR in B&W. Your thoughts once again highly valued!

Techs:

Very nice. Really like the comp and the clouds really make a dramatic image.

I like all the variations, Morkel, but this close-up is my favourite. Well done.

Hi Markel, I love the sky in this image and I think going B&W was a perfect choice. Not sure how you would be boring us with this terrific work!

[Ajit K Huilgol]

Not boring at all, Morkel! This is beautiful! I, especially, like the swirling winds that form the bg.
