2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Wildebeest, Maasai Mara, Kenya
Wildebeest at Sunset

Species: Wildebeest | Location: Maasai Mara, Kenya

By Cheryl Ramalho

This was really tough to shoot! I could see the wildebeest in silhouette against this blazing sunset but was fumbling through my camera bag trying to find the right ND filter -- while the sun was slipping away. I love this shot though because it's Africa at its most glorious. Taken on NatHab's Kenya Migration Photo Safari.

I have a great passion for wildlife and landscape photography and I travel whenever I can. I've been to every continent and have had two adventurous crossings of the Pacific Ocean on a 31-foot sailboat. I always have a camera in my hand. Right now I'm busy creating fine art photographic images which are a blend of digital painting and photography and have recently become a Getty Images contributor.
