Kalahari Wildebeest

Stumbled through my Kgalagadi photos from last year and liked this scene. Can't wait to be among the dunes again later this year!

Hi Morkel , this image evokes powerful memories of Kgalagadi love those dunes. Lovely texture and colours of the grass on the dunes and the Wildebeest adds to the interest of the image.

Very nicely composed shot of dunes and Wildebeest, Morkel. Like the textures, subtle colors. Looks very thin, and giving the extra space in front suggests it has a long way to travel.

as usual very nicely done Bhai

Morkel - I like this a lot. The colors and comp work very well as does the lone wildebeast.

TFS,

The lone thin wildebeest....like the image a great deal.....arid conditions and thinness suggest the plight of the dry season?

Hard to make a lone Wildebeest look good and you keep doing it...Nice one mate!

Thanks a lot Steve and Dumay...
