I am extremely excited. One of my images was named by National Geographic as Photo of the Day. The shot was taken on my 2007 trip to Botswana as the sun set on a dry and dusty day.

thanks all,
You know, the funny thing is ... on a South African wildlife forum this shot was panned because one of the background elephants is chopped/cropped in half. Technically they may be right, but I thought this had impact and NatGeo seems to have agreed.
