well done....

[Russell Johnson]

Really like this one, Marc.

Seems you are getting the mood for Kenya.

[Steve Kaluski]

Really like this one Marc, the colours, the panning lines, just the right amount of blur. Perhaps a 'pano' crop might work on this one, giving more emphasis on the concept?

Hi Marc, I like how the wildebeest is emerging from the blurred surroundings, and love the lines created from your panning.

[Alfred Forns]

Definatley going with more of a crop but like it a lot !!! Big fan of blurs !! ... even at that slow speed you could get a little more detail in the head area !!! ... experiment with the shutter speed, might have been able to still get a nice blur at 1/15 judging from the distance !!! Big Congrats on this one !!!

Wonderful shot, Marc. I love how the blur goes in front of the animal as well as in the background. This shot is on fire with movement. I'd love to see the pano version.
