This black-and-white photograph captures a dramatic coastal scene at low tide in Puerto Pirámides, Argentina. The foreground is dominated by rugged, textured rock formations that have been smoothed and grooved by the sea. Shallow tide pools reflect the sky above, creating a mirror-like effect. The ocean stretches across the middle of the image, calm and still, merging with a horizon of thick, expressive clouds. The sky is dynamic, with rays of light breaking through gaps in the clouds, and a subtle sun flare adds a dreamy touch. To the left, dark rocky cliffs rise, adding depth and contrast to the expansive seascape. The mood of the photo is serene yet powerful, emphasizing the raw natural beauty and timelessness of this coastal landscape. Credit Gregory Rothman 2024

This image shows a Lilac-breasted Roller (commonly misspelled as “violet-breasted roller”) in mid-flight against a clear blue sky. Its wings are spread wide, showcasing an eye-catching array of vibrant blues—ranging from turquoise to deep cobalt. The outer flight feathers are especially vivid, with a striking electric blue that contrasts sharply with the bird’s soft lilac-colored breast and creamy brown head. The bird’s body is compact and slightly arched in flight, with its tail trailing behind. Below, some thorny green acacia shrubs give context to its natural savannah habitat, likely in sub-Saharan Africa. The image is sharp and dynamic, capturing the roller’s elegance and the brilliance of its plumage. The photographer’s credit, “© Gregory Rothman 2023,” is clearly marked in the top left corner.

A Lilac Breasted Roller swoops in for a landing. These Birds take forever to get ready in the morning. Taken in Botswana.

This is a close-up photograph of a daisy flower, capturing the intricate details of its central structure and petals. At the heart of the daisy is a dense, rounded cluster of tiny yellow-orange pollen-covered stamens, encircling a pale green core. Radiating outward are smooth, delicate petals that transition from a bright lemon yellow at the edges to a soft violet-blue near the center, creating a striking gradient. The petal veins are faintly visible, adding texture to the bloom. The overall lighting is bright and natural, bringing out the vivid colors and fine details. In the bottom left corner, the image is marked with the text: “© Gregory Rothman 2023.”

The image shows a lioness resting peacefully in tall, dry grass. Her eyes are closed, and she appears relaxed, possibly sleeping or enjoying the warmth of the sun. The lioness is well-camouflaged among the beige and golden tones of the surrounding vegetation, making her blend almost seamlessly into the environment. The photo is soft in lighting and has a serene, tranquil feel. In the top right corner, the image is watermarked with the photographer’s name, “© Gregory Rothman 2023.”

One of my favorite images from this trip. A lioness rests in the high grass. She looks like a purring house cat. Zimbabwe. #photography #wildlife #Zimbabwe #Lions #bigcats #felines #nikonZ8 #safari #GregoryRothmanPhotography #AfricanSavanna #SafariMoments #AnimalCamouflage #AfricanSavanna
