Ken,

I wish I would have an image of a sable like this. The light conditions have been challenging, but all over you managed to get everywhere good detail, also in the shaded areas. The pose is very nice as well and emphasizes the majestic look these antelopes have.

I wish you a succesful trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe and of course "Happy Holidays" devil

Such a beautiful species.  It really stands out against this environment.  Really a nice color combo.  Enjoy your trip, Ken.
