A closeup of the back of a Wildebeest residing in the Ngorongoro crater. Here you can clearly see the hump, the long black hair, and the vertical stripes.

I'm not quite sure why this one stands out to me; it might be the black stripes on the brown coat the shimmer of the sun reflecting off of the beasts mane, or just the sheer sharpness of the shot. But I like this shot very much, Ferdy! Posted 11 years ago
