All the words that come to my mind have been used by the other comments, but I just enjoyed gazing at this fine photo. It is truly a work of art.

What kind of backpack do you use for your equipment when traveling? Keep up the good photography.

Love this shot--the tranquillity of the watering hole and the sociability of the elephants.

Location
We were on a month long trip in Southern Africa and we were spending 4 days on safari in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. Hwange is a magical place with a plethora of wildlife and stark landscapes.Time
The sun was setting as a large orange ball sliding down to the horizon.Lighting
African sunsets are dramatic and sudden. Only minutes after the sun drops below the horizon, darkness descends quickly.Equipment
Sony Alpha 77 with 70-400 mm lens and a monopod.Inspiration
Elephants reflected in a waterhole in an orange sunset...what could be more inspiring?Editing
Adjusted white balance only.In my camera bag
Canon 5D Mark IV, Tamron 200-600mm, Sony Alpha 9.Feedback
Southern Africa is magical. Be willing to see and take lots of photos!
