This youngster kindly came up on to the bank of the Mwagusi River in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania, even better the last rays of the sun just broke through.

Almost full frame, the background is the river.

Ken: light, subject and composition make a good photo. They are all there. Only nit would be for a bit more room top and bottom. Congrats, Richard
