The Last Great Picture
five female lions.... of the Vumbi pride....lying at rest with their cubs on a kopje.....
a rocky outcrop in Tanzania's Serengeti.....
(
)
Michael "Nick" Nichols photographed them in infrared.....
which he said cuts through the dust and haze,....
transforms the light and turns "the moment" into something primal....
A few months later..... he heard that the pride had ventured into land beyond the park....
and that three females had been killed!!!
Just a few months later!!! by some stupid dentist tourist?
anyway.....
Michael "Nick" Nichols of the US....
has been named Overall Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2014..... for this photo!
congratulations Michael!
