    Picked this bull up at Nebrownii waterhole and took the image while he was slowly drifting off scratching and blowing sand along the way

    Thats cool! I think you could crop in tighter for a bit more impact, still leave some space ofcourse

    Hi Basil, pretty neat, love the trailing dust and overall muted colours, looks good.

    1/5000 might be a little OTT, I think 1/3200 would have been enough, I think dropping your EV gained you the additional SS, but as you had a reasonably low ISO, no worries.

    Hi Basil - A very iconic Etosha image, well captured and processed. Love the cascade of dust.

    Great action on this one Basil, the line the dust has taken, and especially the dust right at the end of the trunk make the shot for me. Nicely presented.

    Love the arching dust trail here Basil, in an iconic Etosha scene, nice contrasting colours. This is one very fat, squat and stocky bull.

    Classic Etosha shot! I think this is one of the two big boys who like to hang around that area - we saw them last month as well.
    Colours look spot on.
