    Looks like the proverbial unicorn. Nicely caught in mid air. Don't they wade through the streams? My eyes wander to those small birds due to the positioning of the birds in the frame. I would crop the hint of green at the top right corner. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    Marc,

    Judging by the length of the horns, I would think it is not that young, given the colour I would think it is Female, but I'll bow to Dicks expertise?

    Great shot, by the way, I suppose it proves that high water levels are not all bad.

    Good capture of the peak of action Marc. Agree with Saby on cropping out the upper right green grass.

    Great action and detail. i can't decide about the presence of the birds. Kind of adds to the action in one respect. However, I do tend to look there a lot so it takes away from the main subject.

    Very beautiful action, the birds provide a nice scale reference!

    I would not wade streams with those big crocs.

    Nice capture Marc. I like the birds going one way and the Sable the other

    Hi Marc, Ive really enjoyed your Sable series. I agree, a younger Sable also has a lighter coat than a fully grown male. Cheers.
