    A great find Ken and I love the stamping foot action.

    I am on a hotel computer in Munich tonight, so it might be this machine, however on this screen it looks a little soft / lacking in detail on the subject.

    It may be a combination of high ISO and poor screen. I will check back tomorrow when I am in front of my own sysytem.

    Cheers

    Ken - like this. I think the steenbok is one of the more expressive antelopes but very tough to get to stand still. Nice pose with the raised leg. Maybe a touch more at the bottom if you have it?

    TFS,

    Rachel,

    Thanks, I must admit to having great luck in the past with Steenbok, I hope it continues.
