Earlier this year I posted an image of the next frame landing, and I promised to post an image of the "flight", so here it ia.
A young Red Lechwe totally failing the jumping distance over a channel in the wetlands of the Kwando concession in Northern Botswana. We will be back there this time next week cool

Ken: an especially good capture which has to be viewed large to be appreciated. The splash created by the right foreleg and the left foreleg right on the surface really serve to convey motion. Good techs and composition. Congrats! Richard

I am looking forward to the big splash, and hope you nailed the techs and pose there as well!
