Animal activity in Africa does not stop even after dark. On the contrary, after a hot day at night, animals come to the water source to quench their thirst. I love night photography and I purposefully seek out such opportunities around the world. I took these night photos in Kenya from a special hide with a one-way glass window. I had the opportunity to wait in that shelter for 3 nights and was lucky that several species of African carnivores visited the watering hole and I was able to photograph them.
Rhinos and buffaloes met at the watering hole under the full moon. The young buffalo and the little rhinoceros boy wanted to measure their strength. But the mother rhinoceros didn\'t like it at all, and she stomped her foot significantly.
White rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) and African buffalo (Syncerus caffer).

– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наившим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
