A female Grant's gazelle in flight. As this is F/F. would have liked just a tad more room all round.

I have not seen these very often as I rarely venture up north. Seen a few in Ruaha, which is their southernmost stronghold, but never close enough.
Beautiful animal, beautifully captured.
Hi Marc, nice action shot, looks very sharp, and the head is set off nicely against the OOF BG. Nice job here. Little more room would have been nice..

Hi Marc, nice looking Gazelle, nicely caught in mid stride.
I would agree that perhaps a fraction more space above would help, however to me it does have a slight 'yellow' to it, suggesting to me that reducing the Cyan/Blue would help. Adding a hint more Red in Colour balance & yellow say 8 (?) just gives it that nice richness to the hide, even adding say +5 in Sat might also work and helps the whites? Also a little more DOF say 5.6 or 6.3 could have give some extra depth, as you certainly had the SS
Great to see a rare animal.

Marc,
Sorry I posted the wrong "emoticons" it should of course been
Steve,
Not to sure where how you get to know the colours of this animal, but I can assure you that if you look elsewhere you ill find that this is what it looks like. Obviously you can manipulate it to be whatever you want it to be but I prefer the "real thng".
nice action shot, looks very sharp,

Great IQ with soft light and great colors...Lovely image Marc
Lovely image Marc, love the action and the background. Interesting to see the wide variation in the physiology of the Grant's gazelles across their range, the ones in Tsavo East in particular are considered so different that locally they are called 'Peter's gazelle'. Coat colour and the side stripe vary widely.
Really nice character in this image (yes, a little more room at top would have been nice) and you've caught the rippling muscles under the coat really well.
Does she only have one horn?
Nice and sharp !! The BG separation looks awesome !!
I like the tight comp Marc and love the detail captured TFS
Definitely a pair, although the second is hiding perfectly behind the facing one.Originally Posted by Hilary Hann
