With this photo, I aimed to capture the vastness and the diversity of animals that surrounded me at that moment. There isn't a central focal point, but that's precisely because I wanted the viewer of the photo to get lost in the immensity of that natural landscape.

Although there is a significant presence of wildlife, I consider this shot to fall under the "landscape" category. In Tsavo East National Park in Kenya, elephants, giraffes, and zebras are integral parts of the natural scenery. This photo is a result of merging multiple shots using Capture One's "panoramic stitching" feature.

Please note that due to size limitations, the photo may not display its true quality (the full-size JPEG is 64.9MB and 14252px by 3781px).

Shot was taken handheld with a FUJIFILM X-H1 camera using the Fujifilm Fujinon XF70-300mmF4-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens, at f/8, 1/640 shutter speed, 300mm focal length, and an ISO setting of 400.

Fascinating image, but not clear what the centre of attention should be.

Thanks for the feedback!
