I am in London to attend the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards tonight. The reason? This image!
It has been awarded as "finalist" (the old "highly commended") in the B&W category. It is also the cover image of this year's coffee table book!

Captured from a remote research hide in Etosha.
I hope you enjoy it!


Techs:
Nikon D800
Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR-II @ 200mm
f8.0 | 1/640 SS | ISO-360

Well done Morkel! To get a highly commended out of over 42,000 entries is a great achievement - and well deserved with this iconic image!
