Description
"Rush Hour"Known as the greatest show on earth, after being there and personally witnessing the migration of millions of wildebeest into the Maasai Mara, I can stand testament to that statement.
Each year scores of wildebeest cross the Mara river in search of the grassy plains of the Maasai Mara. During these crossings chaos, fear, panic and adrenaline are the call of the moment. The animals do their utmost to cross safely to the other side without being trampled, drowned or eaten by crocodiles but sadly there is always casualties of what feels like troops marching into battle.
What a combination of emotions for both beast and photographer --- Prints can be ordered from fineart@livingcanvas.co.za (REF: MM-SX4133)

First of all, I'm really glad this was suggested as a Daily Deviation, otherwise I might not have seen this any time soon which would be a shame because I loved it instantly!
The contrast is great and I love how you've captured the movement and 'rush hour' in this one shot, while some parts are still very sharp and draw your eyes into it immediately!
I can definitely see this hanging in an exhibition or just on a big empty white or gray wall, huge poster-size of course.
The subtle autograph in the lower left corner is something really nice as well. Often watermarks or autographs seem to annoy me a bit or stand out too much, but I really like this one!
Great job! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t… " width="15" height="15" alt="

This is a great shot and greater print! I love the feeling of motion of the migration and the strength of the beasts as they make their way through the water.

I really like this Mitch. There is definitely a sharp one right there in the middle and that accentuates the chaos and movement of all the others. Nicely done.
