    Default Red Hartebeest in 1st gear...

    Captured this early one morning in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. These antelopes are very fast. I know many will bay for a little off the right but I felt the comp stronger for my tastes with the entire shape of the camelthorn tree in the background included, rather than "chopped" off. This is almost full frame.

    Techs:
    Canon 7D with 100-400mm L IS USM @ 115mm
    f11 @ 1/60 SS @ ISO-100
    Shutter Priority, Auto ISO, Exp +0.3

    Lovely feeling of motion and activity here Morkel. I think we all make a big mistake to try to always fit our wildlife (or landscapes) into a set of rules and to please everyone. Sometimes the rules need to be broken and I suppose it would have been nice if your tree hadn't been so far to the right, but you have portrayed what you set out to do, so well done.

    Hey Mork, your thinking behind the tree makes sense, and I like how the RH pops from the BG. Well captured mate.
