The story behind the image

This Impala Antilope visited the Moringa waterhole in the Etosha National Park in Namibia for a drink after a hot day. Sunset was approaching, and the background had been dipped into shadows already. Yet, the animal was still illuminated by the setting sun coming from behind. This sight alone would have justified a photo. But there was the reflection in the water. I had the zoom lens ready and took this shot. Awesome.
