Most of you know that I love the "animal-in-environment" kind of shots. "Animalscapes", as it were.

There were a couple of photos I'd not had the chance to capture on previous visits to Etosha. The one was a chance to get close to the famous "white" elephant bulls, which I was able to. The second was of a male lion against the backdrop of the desolate Etosha pan. Here is one such photo that I was happy with!

Techs:
Nikon D800
Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR-II @ 70mm
f5.6 | 1/400 SS | ISO-720

Not just 'happy with' Morkel, you should be over the moon! Wonderful image and so evocative of the wild and desolate parts of Africa. Superb!

A great animalscape, and as Dave noted it tells a great story.

Great to get this male on the edge of the pan Morkel, I have photographed there a few times and rarely had anything in that particular spot right in front of the pan.
