About the Image(s)

Women have only recently been allowed to become polers in Botswana's Okavango Delta. It was always a man's job. These two were part of a team that hauled our gear from campsite to campsite in the Delta. It takes incredible balance to be a poler...and there are crocodiles that would happily dispatch a poler that falls in. The women are obviously proud of themselves.
I used a Canon EOS 77D, 1/16, 1/500, ISO 800 at 128mm.
