Winning Photo

I love the story here and the ironic man and animal slant it has, and the lesson we never learn from. So many wild animals die of thirst in the savannah every year while man makes swimming pools! It is a great shot and the inclusion of the sign adds to the humour. Hopefully the chlorine won’t bleach the stripes.

Christophe Godard. EOS-5D, f/8, 1/250. South Africa. This shot was taken close from Krügersdorp, in a private lodge. I particularly love African wildlife and my job in the foreign affairs allowed me to travel a lot in Africa, always with a camera not too far. This one is one of my favourites and it was not taken with a huge telephoto ! Animals remind us that nature is fragile and that we need to preserve a good and sustainable balance between both spheres of influence.
