A lone elephant moves through the vast African savanna, dwarfed by the land and the dramatic sky above. I intentionally chose a 16–35mm lens to emphasize the scale of the landscape, allowing the openness of the savanna to dominate the frame and place the elephant within its immense world. The image speaks to solitude and resilience, how even the largest land animal becomes part of something far greater. It is a reminder of the space these animals need, and how fragile and irreplaceable these wild places truly are.
