Very nicely captured! The Oxpecker is a wonderful addition and appears to be in communication with Impala.

Great capture. Very cute indeed. I might try to lighten the image globally if you can. Seem,s a bit dark. Well seen and well captured.

Ken: well captured and a pleasure to look at. Could be a scene from the African version of Bambi, a Disney movie. Richard

Hitchhiker and main subject are very well posed, with good attitude and good look at eyes. Lifted hind foot adds motion and eye reflections add life. Only thing you could have hoped for was beyond control, some warm directional low light...
