Congratulations to Andy Howe from Bedfordshire, England with image entitled 'The Crossing'.

Andy tells us ''Image was taken during the Great Migration in Kenya's Masai Mara Reserve at a crossing point known as the Cup-de-sac.

The throngs of Wildebeest, Zebra and Topi amass in their thousands creating a super herd on the banks of the Mara River, and they wait, building up their courage, energy, and motivation. It seems as if they will never do it, as if this is too large a barrier for them to cross. One courageous animal makes the first move, the first jump. Desperately they pour into the crocodile infested river like lemmings, leaping, bleating, calling a crescendo of adrenaline and instinct.

Camera: Canon EOS 7D MKII Lens: Canon 600mm f4 MKII @1/2500: f4:ISO 250 Exp comp 0.7
