    Nice action captured. Well exposed. These guy can really jump, amazing to watch. Good depiction of nature interacting with us humans. Well done.

    You captured the action, that is the important thing. After the fact you could have made an image of the fence to the right of this image and stitched them.

    Been trying since I started to get one of these but all of mine are heading the other way. Amazing how effortless they make it look.

    Robert I'd be happy with this one. I like the fact that both hind hooves are off the ground. He's got a nice rack as well. TFS

    Nicely timed Dale, as Steve said, they do make these jumps so effortless and take them in their stride.

    Nice timing and exposure here Dale...I'm fine with the comp as is but hear what you are saying regarding how it would have been :)

    Our antelopes are equally adept and jumping the fences we erect to keep them in/out :)

    Excellent effort here--perhaps a vertical pano crop, like below--might help. I love Robert Amoruso's suggestion to take another image and stitch them together. I'm tucking that little nugget away for next time.

    Perfect exposure and timing on the jump. That barbed wire fence looks really high. Some animals don't make it. I like the crop on left and would maybe crop a little off the top and bottom also.
