I had a beautiful crisp, clear and sunny morning to do some aerial shadow photography from a microlight, this herd of eles were very cooperative as they traversed the dry Luangwa river floodplain.
One of my best flights ever!

This is fantastically refreshing!! Hey you know it rather looks like an ancient cave wall painting in a way. If it were mine I think I would try some digital art techniques on it such as sandstone rock look or similar for other presentations... It's a awesome image anyway one sums it up!!

I've always liked these arial shadow images, and this one is especially well done.
The ground itself is beautiful, and rich with textural and tonal interest. Heck, this photo would be gorgeous even without the elephants!

Someone mentioned a cave painting- that was my first thought too. Marvellous photo!

Spectacular shot, Marc. The interplay of lines and shadows have my eyes stuck like glue to this shot. Really well done!
