    Every afternoon whilst we were camping at Ngweshla we went down to the waterhole and sat on camping chairs, the vehicle was nearby and we only need it once.

    This young Elephant produced just one of many marvelous moments.

    Yes it is a nice moment captured. I would crop this vertical with equal space in either side of the infant. As presented I feel this image is unbalanced - a symmetrical presentation would work well here. I would also recommend cropping 1/3 of the FG space out.

    Robert summed up some good points to fine-tune this great image of a fantastic moment of natural history .
    You're making me want to plan to hit Hwange sooner than expected, Ken...

    Morkel,

    If you wish to camp at one of the picnic sites you need to book early particularly for Ngewshla, we have made ours for next October .
