Lighting , air borne pose and splashing water makes this grand for me Steve , Man you have amazing collection of images

The backlighting, color and resultant spray from the Lechwe, really enhance this well captured image Steve.
Good choice of ISO & S/S too.;)

only suggestion is to crop a little from bottom and right

Peter, as soon as I posted it I thought exactly that! ;)

Awesome pose and light Steve. Like the crop suggestion, but would take as is any day.

I like the idea of the crop but don't touch the top!!!!
Gorgeous backlight and perfect timing. If this were mine (keep dreaming girl :) ) I may mask the sharpening of the back splash, it seems to have some artifacts to my eyes?

[Alfred Forns]

Will be just perfect with the suggested crop !!! ... wondering if you could lighten the face a tine more to even up with the light on the body !! Different, high impact and love it !!!

Steve,

I have always wanted to get a good picture of a Red Lechwe running through the water but failed die to head angle, why do they always run away not even slightly towards you?
