I shot this image in the late morning from across the river where buffalos were coming to drink. I took quite a few shots as I could see the composition would be nice with the buffalo coming in from left, drinking and exiting right. I composed this at the top of the frame, knowing that I would cut off to be a pano shot, so ignored all the beach in the foreground. The dust was a nice touch too, but it did reduce the quality of the image, and I was also about 500m away through hazy air. When the 3 came down together to drink, I hoped that was a good moment.
