This Impala is one of the most common of the smaller antelope/buck in South Africa. It is widespread in most game reserves, and a popular meal for the carnivours to capture and eat. They are extremely fast runners, and often swerve and change direction at an instant, thus escaping from their hunter. I liked the the light in this, as it was late afternoon. The BG is natural as is. Taken in the Kruger National Park.

this is a fantastic shot i've seen till date though i am new to wildlife.
Exposure and Aperture is just so perfectly setup and the light adds a lot. sharpness and warm touch with superb DOF adds extra mile. Congratulations on this wonderful capture.

Oh I like this Stu. Killer bg and head angle. Was he "barking" at the time?

Stuart,
Really nice portrait here. Nice warm tone, excellent detail (nice job on the eye), and I really like the curve of the horn running on the same line as the hump in the back.
