Ken,
Nice pose. The water droplets have come out well. You were in the right position to take this shot. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thanks for all of the comments, it certainly was a case of right time, right place and right distance.

This is what we suffer hot tents and poor food for and it is very much worth it:)

Ditto above comments. Lovely image--perfect timing. Just curious, do you have any more shots in this sequence? Would love to see some. Cheers.

Gary,

I have quite a few in mid-air , landing etc, we were really lucky as there were two Impalla and seeing the first jump made us aware of the potential, and our cameras were braced and ready.
