I like the idea...Dont know too much about landscape photography so I cant comment....My dream to get there one day!

Good use of layering Harshad to depict depth in the image. The dark FG with the silhouetted animal giving way to the sunlight BG provides for a dramatic affect. The low lying clouds top off the layered affect. I like the crop and feel you captured just the right amounts of dark FG and bright low clouds. Well done.

Harshad - reminds me of one of Morkel's (I think it may even be his BBC shot from last year). Nicely seen and composed. The layers work well for this animalscape. Only nit would be maybe a bit of cw rotation.

TFS,
Rachel

Love the dark foreground and the wildebeest on the right side. Nice clouds as well, adds a lot of mood to the image.

[Marina Scarr]

Love the feel of this one. The clouds and the perfect placement of the animal really add to depicting the vastness of this scene/location. Great title too!

[Stu Bowie]

Bhai, just love the light on the distant hills, and how you have exposed the FG. The wildebeest silhouette works for me. Another vote for wanting to be there.

[Pieter de Waal]

Harshad , love it for all the reasons mentioned above. The Wildebeest silhouette is the clincher. Well done.

[Hilary Hann]

Well seen Harshad, many would have missed this lone wildebeest in the expanse.

Nothing to add to this comment...exactly why I like it! Dramatic lighting, poignant mood...love it!
