Chobe Sunset Gathering

A breeding herd of Elephants gather on the banks of the Chobe River to quench their thirst in golden sunset light. Would of liked to see more of the calf but unfortunately did not get the chance. Image taken during the 2013 photo safari with South Cape Images.

EOS 5D MKII - EF300 f2.8L IS USM + 1.4x Extender - 420mm - 1/125sec @ f5.0 - ISO 500

Love the golden light on this fine scene. I agree that some minor tweaks on the placement of the youngest, and maybe the one at the back, would have really put this over the top.
