What a gorgeous scene! The sky glows, and the sun is a magic ball! (I think you captured a couple of sunspots, too.) The iconic tree (Acacia?) is wonderful, gesturing toward the sun. And then I discover the Zebras, trekking through gorgeous layers of the landscape. Their dust is a wonderful element! The dark FG supports it all – so very well done!

Thank you so much for your appreciation, Diane! The tree is indeed an acacia tortilis, aka the umbrella tree :slight_smile:

I think this is sensational, Ingrid. This is the iconic landscape scene that nearly everyone who goes to Africa wants to come away with and this one is perfect! The zebras marching along under the sun toward the Acacia tree and that one little branch reaching out and touching the sun is beautiful. I would print this big and find a place on your wall. Simply spectacular.

What a beauty! It is worthy of National Geografic.
