Ken,
nice sunset light and I like also the shade on the ground. Looks as if the 5Ds is fast enough

A very clean shot that stopped the action nicely and has everything on the Impalla in focus. I like the warm light and matching color tones between the Impalla and the dirt. The exposure is just right also. Very nicely shot, Ken!

I love the warm lighting and the resulting shadow of the impala. Airborne pose is a good touch, as is catchlight and bands of yellow grass at the top. Volume of old dung is slightly unfortunate, but likely unavoidable.

Beautiful light, beautiful colour and just a great action shot. Great choice of shutter speed and f-stop to freeze the action and soften the background. Thanks for the lesson.

Very nice light, good pose and nice clean BG. As Lon mentions, yes more unfortunately more poo again....those animals in Africa sure do poop a lot!

Thanks for your comments.
What to do about poo?
I have been told to clone it out and I suppose that is a solution? This solution was offered by the same person who insisted in removal of "whitewash" from bird perches
Nearly all "open" areas in Africa have plenty of poo, in particular around waterholes, Elephants also deposit in the water this has the advantage of not being visible
