Wet Lechwe

I haven't posted here for quite some time.  I spent a few weeks in southern Africa and then time in the hospital with a GI infection and am now awaiting surgery.  I have just begun to process my Botswana photos.  I photographed this Lechwe from a boat on the Chobe River.  He had just bounded through the water over to an island and turned around to look at us.  Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Canon EF500mm f/4L IS II USM, AV exposure f/7.1 at 1/1000th, ISO 1000

Looks a bit miffed at having his bath disturbed.  Great expression on this one.  Maybe a bit tight in the frame, but otherwise fine capture.

Nice portrait.  The very symmetrical comp works well.
