GooglePlus Pic of the Week: 13 to 19 October 2014

The AFRICANature brand is about high quality imagery. You don't have to be a professional photographer to produce high quality imagery, but you need to know your equipment, know your subject and know how to process your photos properly.

We are very happy with the standard of images being shared with the theme - but that also makes our choice as curators even harder.

This photo of the legendary Boswell from Mana Pools in Zimbabwe was captured by +Dana Allen. See more of his work on his website: www.photosafari-africa.net
