all the best to you and your loved ones for 2017 Morkel. Fabulous shot. love the conversion and the lighting and dust lifting this . the small details, such as the wildebeest in the bottom right make it special

I agree with Gary, the diagonal rays of light revealed by the dust really bring this image to life. Excellent.

Beautiful light and atmosphere. Reminds me of some of Sebastião Salgado's work.
