Another image from Hwange a wonderful park. This was taken at our favourite place in the park, Ngweshla waterhole (where we camp in luxury). Usually in the afternoon we drive the short distance from camp park up, get out some chairs and a table and have afternoon tea, this was taken at one of our sessions

Nice scene here, Ken. Would love to see Hwange ASAP. Time, time, time...
I like the warthogs in the BG too. Nice typical dusty earthy tone overall here.

Something about this photo makes me feel like I'm right there. Might be the nice detail on the fine looking herd. The addition of the warthogs is a nice bonus.

I think the location of the big guy makes for a nice comp.

You are the lazy kind of wildlife photographer Ken are you?

Good shot from a lazy chair though.

Nicely done Ken! The Eles look like an invading army approaching.
