A herd of Cape Buffalo draws a flock of overhead cattle egrets, while a yellow-billed stork considers joining the party. I use perspective and scale to draw the viewer into the image. I was drawn to the scene because the stork was in the process of drying its wings, and incongruously seems to want to embrace the huge buffalos in the background. The wings of the cattle egrets, hanging in the air over the buffalos, are tiny echoes of the stork’s widespread wings. It is a layered image – with the stork in the foreground, the expanse of grass leading to the buffalo and birds as the middle ground, and distant trees forming the background.
