Now, 'Off the menu'!
This buck ensured his harem was in safe quarters before bolting from his own safety. Can they move, or can they move!

'That's one small step for a man, a giant leap for an impala' not sure if that now makes sense :confused:

Hi Steve,

It makes sense! :biggrin:

Lovely action shot! Agree the shadow is a little distracting!

A fine shot Stephen again only little nit for me is the shadow on the head but as already stated not much you can do about it.

Grand capture Steve - perhaps cropping to pano might be good idea - help focus the eye on the spectacular athletic pose and raised water splash.

Contrasty light is always your enemy - you've done well :toast:

a very nicely captured action shot. Must have been a challenge given how fast they go.

Only slight nits would be the shadow over the eye and it would seem to benefit from a CCW rotation.

OK guys, taking on board everything, here is a re-post.

As it has already been said, shame about the shadow :frown:

Hi Steve,

That's much better and even the shadow is less harsh and noticeable now! The repost works for me!

Repost is a splendid shot Steve. The shadow on the face really spoiled the first one for me.
