    Default Battle practise

    Close -up of two young male impalas fighting. Impala bachelor herds can be good entertainment with lots of fighting and chasing going on. Though it may look serious at times, it is all just battle practise. I wanted to create a photo giving the viewer the feeling of being part of the fight by going in really close.

    The lighting and the sharpness are super. I really like the look of the one to the right, wish I could see more of the horns though.

    Colours, lighting and sharpness. Love it. I agree with Robert's comment that more of antlers in the picture would have been better. I am wondering how it would have looked with some head contact.

    Interesting composition. Great colors. Your DOF only allowed the impala on the right to be really sharp Love the look in the eyes of the impala on the right. Might like to see a bit more of the horns.
