Great action shot with really nice reflections.I would try to lighten it up just a bit. Seems a little dark to me.

Other than this being another wonderful action image, I really like how it demonstrates how far forward the hind legs are when these beautiful animals are running. I also like the water drops caused by the Lechwe in the rear. Small nit: maybe a bit off the top. By the way, I am not sure what a concession is when used in this context.

The reflections are great and I like that you are continuing the theme of great movement in these captures. I feel it is a little tight on the left edge. Colors and processing look fine.

Thanks everybody for your comments, they are much appreciated. I fear my monitor is on the blink as the brightness seems to have a mind of its own. :toast: :toast:
