I like the way you froze the action, the impala on the right with 3 feet in the air, and the pose of the two duelists, their muscles contracting tell the tale of a strugle.

Hi Sanjeev - Nice action. I also like the way the one on the rhs is mostly lifted off the ground. The kicked up dust works. The impalas look a little smooth.

Nice action here and good composition. Are those black dots all over the impalas flies?

Sanjeev you have really caught the action with this one,that one on the right is almost airborne,very well done getting this.

Excellent sparing action Sanjeev, but can't help feel this was pre calibration?

Hi Sanjeev a very good action shot ....well captured sparring !!!
Overall a tad dark with blacks being a bit heavy i think .
Framing and the overall separation from the BG works well ,....with the right amount of DOF to get that working .
Good job in the field , Sanjeev .

Hello Sanjeev,

Cannot help notice those impressive horns on the two Impala males. And I just love the intensity of the struggle and the dust raising, wonderful action captured! Techs look good, I just think I would have gone for more SS in this instance.

To answer John, those black insects are ticks, annoying little things and they cause disease...

Sanjeev, I have this feeling I want to "warm up" this frame. It could be that you shot in relatively low light, but the colours are somewhat muted - is Steve right about the calibration?

Kind regards,
