Panning was perfect! It is sharp at where needs to be sharp.

I like this Petr, the BG is perfectly blurred and uniform in appearance, whilst the head of the Lechwe is very sharp which makes the animal stand out well. The water spray at the hooves and the rear are also very cool. The only slight improvement would have been if the angle of direction were perfectly parallel to you rather than the slight angle away. :toast:

From the few posts you have made on NPN it is clear that you are a very talented and skilled wildlife photographer Petr. People like you can contribute so much more to these forums by also commenting and provide constructive feedback on other people's work. Therefore I would like to invite you to also start posting comments. Remember also that NPN could simply not exist if people would only post their images but not comment on other people's images. :wink:
For more information on the posting guidelines and the art of image critique I refer to the 'Posting Guidelines' button in the green bar on the right end above your image.
