Very good action shot! You caught the lechwe just right IMHO. I like the water splash behind it. Thanks for sharing.

Ken: there's a phrase for this which is "picture perfect". It's a wonderful capture in all aspects. Richard

Nice action. The color of the fur works so well against that background.

Dandy action capture, extending across the diagonal of the frame. I, too, like the flying water and perfect rendering of depth of field. I would be tempted to add some top back to the image for a more traditional ratio.
