February 2014 and the sun is setting, it is 6:22 pm. Polentswa waterhole just after the rain. An old lion picks up the scent of a resident female and is waiting for her, all on his own. Later that night we still listened to his deep roars as we prepared our dinner and ate in silence.

I stumbled upon this image so many times while browsing through my folders, felt it was not good enough by BPN standards. The colours might look odd to you, and do keep in mind it was quite dark at the time I captured this. But tonight I felt like showing you MY KALAHARI as I remember it - I miss the place tremendously.
Thank you so much for viewing.

. The colours, well you were there, however I don't think the sky looks processed, I just feel the top portion needs a bit more depth, looks a bit thin and so going a little darker in tone may just help frame it more?
