April 2022 finalists

I just returned from a Kalahari landscape photography workshop I presented in the Kalahari and the large variety of grasses are on full display and I wondered when this landscapes are going to be used to compose unique and winning wildlife images. Of course the grass covers most of the red dunes but they need to be celebrated and used to our benefit to capture wildlife and especially landscapes. - Joe Lategan
