The Uninvited Guests

When I was in Chobe NP, Botswana, I decided to take a boat and shootfrom the water in order to get a different perspective. Using a tripodor even resting the lens on the edge of the boat was useless, as theboat was constantly moving up en down. It's moments like this thatvibration reduction really comes in handy.

This croc was just chilling on the river bank when suddenly a largeherd of elephants arrived for a drink. It was getting a bit too crowdyfor mister croc, and moments after I took this shot, it fled into thewater.

Your comments are appreciated as always.

Hello Marsel....nice contrast between the elephant and the croc...both in terms of color and size.I also like the way you composed it. Regards, Teo

Very nice image. Great contrast between the elephants and the crocodile. Regards, Jean-Marc

Very nice wildlife shot. Clean crisp and well exposed. Compliments. It's a shame those who have decided to rate this image low haven't been willing to offer reasons as to why.
