    Nothing special, but I liked the way the Gnu were spaced.

    Nice shot Ignacio. Like the vast expanse and the two tones as well. I think it needs a little CW rotation.

    Neat shot. I too, like the spacing of the Gnu. I also like the layered clouds in the sky. As presented with more sky than ground, it gives me a sense of the wide open land they call home. A bowser crop of equal amounts of sky and ground give me a different feel, accentuating the linear elements in the image (clouds, layers of sand, horizon, and animals). I like both versions.

    It is really difficult to get a good image of animals in this kind of environment, Ilike what you have done , agree image needs rotation ccw, would crop bottom area up to beginning of orange layer .

    An unusual, for me, composition. It certainly looks dry, I love Etosha is this the Andoni plain?

    As Ken says, an interesting composition. I feel it could do with a boost as overall, as it looks a little flat. I would also agree with Peter and crop from the bottom, but if you can, add more sky if there is any more in the frame.

    A fine image. I agree that cropping from the bottom will strengthen the image. Some more drama in the sky would have been fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Jackie, I can't seem to decide about the rotation; I applied small amounts but never looks totally right, maybe it's my eyes :cool:
    I have tried several cropping options as suggested, but still think leaving some space in the bottom adds to the feel of expanse.

    Thank you all for your commments.

    Ignacio, I like these panoramic views, and I like the overall space in this. I would leave the horizon/rotation as is, as there is a low point in the middle, so you cant redesign the earth. ;)

    Mighty fine image. Different and unique. A little rotation needed as noted above. The balance is very nice.
