Here's another image from our Chobe, Botswana trip last year. This was taken from the ground level bunker hide. The elephants came in quite late this evening making photography of them difficult but we had some nice consolation prizes including this baboon. Cropped to vertical.

Very impressive, Nate! Every aspect of this image works for me: the detail, pose, perspective, exposure, background, composition, light, etc. Excellent work!

The ground-level (eye-level) viewpoint is particularly engaging here. Nice one.

Hello Nate

SWEET Capture !:)

Really enjoy how you have isolated this guy with clean background & f stop selection. Enjoy your low perspective. Was it Hot in that Bunker ? Looks like a Great Tour/Trip to be considered!!!


Thanks for Sharing.

Bill

Thanks for the pick and your comments everyone!

Bill, it wasn't hot in the bunker, it's cooler than being out in the sun.
