Shutterbug Photo of the Day

Our Shutterbug Photo of the Day is a stunning image from Douglas Croft.

“We followed this gorgeous female for quite a while as she patrolled her territory, then she waded into the river, pausing as if to say, get a good last look.” writes Croft.

The image was captured at the MalaMala Game Reserve, South Africa, with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor 200-400mm lens at ISO 800, f/8, 1/1600 sec.
