Not many landscape opportunities on this Tanzania tour but did manage to do a few from the truck. Finding the right tree on the horizon proved more difficult than I thought.....concentrating to much on the animals I guess!
Canon 1D Mark lll with the 100-400mm lens on beanbag at 130mm and f8 for 1/640 sec. and ISO 800. Cropped off top to accentuate the tree form.

Nice composition, Roman. I like the backlighting of the tree and the colors in the sky.

The colorful sky and the silhouetted tree and FG really work. Possibly you could take a little off the bottom. No mating leopards in the tree????

Simple and beautiful. Very nice colors in the sky and the silhouette has nice balance.:)

i'm glad you didnt pass this up for a crazy ole lion!!:) the tree seems off centered just enough to make it right. i love the mix of orange and purple hues. did you get any with the tree smaller in the frame?

Thanks all! Elmar.....I was going for the essence of Africa......wish I could get out more for different comps. Will post one with a bit of fog later.

H, I did crop a bit of the top off.......but thats it.....full frame horizontallly.

Roman this image just screams "Africa". I like the way the mountain range is visible in the BG. Print this big and hang it up.

Beautiful image, Roman. I like the simplicity in composition and the crop adds to the feel of vastness of the area. Lovely, soft colors add to the impact. TFS.
