    I was happy to capture these three waterbuck in similar poses. Just wish the back two were closer to have an even space between all three. Taken in Kruger National park two weeks ago.

    What magnificent Antelope these are and so photogenic. I might try to clone out the tree behind the middle one.

    Harshadbhai, Ken, thanks for popping by. Here is my repost using Ken's suggestion, and to Steve for his suggestion too. Tree removed for firewood.:)

    Stuart,

    IMHO that looks nuch better, even if some would call it excessive manipulation, I do not mind at all:)

    Hi Stu, I think this works better, as its cleaner and a little gardening I am sure wasn't an issue :D It was easier to illustrate than to say Stu and you could do a tad more else where if you fancy it, just cosmetic, LOL. Do agree they are handsome looking animals.

    Stuart - Like this and the gardening looks good. I think this would also be a strong image with just the first 2 bucks, do you have any of just them? Most of the time I've seen them it has been one male with females or a lone male.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Just need to move that third one a tad closer next time Stuart;), good effort nonetheless.
    They do make fine subjects.

    Handsome animals. I like the habitat here and how all their faces are on parallel planes and give us a nice frontal view of the horns.

    Repost works well. The tree behind the second waterbuck really distracted. Nothing wrong with a little gardening as long as you are not opposed to it, and you did a very clean job of it here. I would never have known.
