Running Oryx

I have always found Oryx to be a difficult subject largely because of the facial colours.I believe the low light helped this time.
I found this one having a little run in Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana, where they are not exactly rare

One of my favorite antelope, next to the Sable and Kudu. Great action shot. You managed to freeze the action very well. It looks like the light was not with you judging by the very high ISO. The image held up well even at this ISO.
