Hi Marc, this is one species I still need in my gallery. Love these guys. Great timing to capture the jump over the stream, and you have exposed him nicely. I like the softer colours, and the oxpeckers add to the image. Looking at the ripples in the stream, this needs a slight CW rotation, and I would add a bit to the top. Cheers.
lovely moment well freexed , flying birds adds to image , If mine I may add canvas all around

that's got to be the best sable image I've seen Marc - they are such beautiful antelopes. I agree with more space needed all round. great light, colours and exposure...
Appreciate the comments guys.
If only I had more space as this is FF.:(Originally Posted by Morkel Erasmus
Hey Marc, as I love these guys so much, I thought I would extend the canvas for you. I extended on the right and top, and gave it a slight CW rotation. Hope you dont mind.
Thanks Stuart, I have allowed more room in the other images I'll post, this one did have me cramped somewhat.
Marc what a great action shot
Marc,
Mobile Safaris Rule!
Truly remarkable image!
Heck!!!! Marc you are killing us with your latest shots. Congrats bud!!!!! Best Sable shot I've seen. (Have you considered retiring, lol...?). Way to go.
Thanks Ken
It was actually taken on the Vumbura side of the Buffalo fence whilst at Mapula.
Great shot. Nice looking animal caught in a great pose. Habitat, birds, and splashes all nice additions. I like the extra room of Stuart's repost.
