The Wildebeest migration is one of the 7 new wonder of the world. The river crossing is the peak of it. We were lucky to see 4 crossing, a truly powerful and fascinating sighting.

Always an amazing sight! I especially like the artsy look of the center section of the image with all the horns and heads.

Spectacular! Agree with Joe about the middle of the image. Never seen a shot taken from this angle before.

Nice depth, and intensity here with the dust and the setting between the rocks. It sure is an awesome thing to behold. Telephoto compression also works well here.

Wonderful capture of the madness of a crossing. Great patterns here, an excellent composition so well balanced and showing the activity at its peak.

Powerful image. I love how they bottleneck at bottom center.
