    Ken -I agree with Al that the zebras in the background really add to this image. Like it a lot.

    Hi Ken, I liked the impala all leaping upwards, and the zebra in the BG. Good capture. Perhaps a little more of the far off treeline wouldnt hurt the composition if you still have it in the original crop?

    I must confess that I expected criticism about the Zebra, I am happy that so far they have stood up, I think thy add interest to the image.

    Ken,
    What is pronking?

    it seems the impala are posing for you ;) I think more space at the top with trees will give a better idea about the place. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    Pronking is normally associated with Springbok, it is when they jump up in the air with all four feet of the ground and move along at great speed in little jumps. Some people say it is defensive, some say it is a display to show how fit and strong they are, me I think they do it because it is fun.:D
