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!
