I like this a lot Ingrid...although I do wish the direction of movement was towards us :wink:

Easy to tell what the animals are and certainly the action/movement is well shown. What's not to like? Yeah, a 180 would have been nice; but that's for next time.

Great effect n wonderful frame!
I don't mind they are moving away, but wanted to see one clear head.

Love the concept and the execution was just as terrific. My only tiny nit is I also wish the direction of movement was towards the viewer, but this still works in a different way. What would be cool is to get a second image with them coming towards and sell them as a two part series. :biggrin:

Hi Ingrid,

My thoughts on this image are almost identical to those of Kurt's - like the idea, but for me the direction of travel (and viewing butts rather than heads) does make a difference to my appreciation of the shot. Butt, giving the subject matter, nicely executed!

Cheers...

Brad

Really cool image. I like the kind of abstract feel it has to it. I do agree, however, that it would've been nice to have them facing you, but hey, that was out of your control.
