Captured during a golden-hour cruise along the Chobe River in Botswana, this abstract wildlife photograph showcases the intricate textures and powerful form of a crocodile’s back leg. As the large reptile rested along the riverbank, the still water mirrored its form with near-perfect clarity. Framed intentionally to emphasize line, texture, and reflection, this image transforms a quiet wildlife moment into an artistic composition that blurs the line between realism and abstraction.
