Moving off from a recent Thompsons Gazelle dinner, with his mother close by, a 10 mth old cub poses to a gorgeous pink and orange pastel sunset.

Wonderful mood and image, Marc. I love it!

So evocative and brings alive many memories of the changes that occur as day turns into night, the heat of the sun becomes the cooler darkness. The day animals slow down and the night hunters wake up and prepare to scout for prey along with the night aromas and sounds that set all senses on alert. So much from this beautiful image which is a true reflection on the man behind the camera, and your empathy and understanding of all things Africa. Thank you!

Carol.

Such an iconic shot - the setting, the pastel tones, the composition. Love it.
