Nice capture. I like the originality and the pureness of the composition.

If i may suggest, could you clone out the (baby?) head from the shot? (i know it is not critics section here, but...the shot will be perfect that way)

Cheers!!!

Not a pro by any stretch of anyone's imagination, but I agree...it's an awesome shot from my favorite place in the world....Africa.

That is the amazing part about going to places like this. We are so different in so many ways and yet we have so many things in common. Every time I go I come back feeling very, very spoiled!!!
