Highly commended – Wildebeest at dusk –
We were approaching Rooiputs Lodge in the Kgalagadi and saw a herd of wildebeest walking in the dry Nossob riverbed. The sun was setting and the dust created by the animals, made for a very moody scene. I could almost sense the relief of the wildebeest, after they had survived another blazing hot day without becoming prey to any predator. Converting the image to black and white gives the image more impact.
