Rewarding meeting with this beautiful impala in Etosha National Park. Photo was taken just after sunrise when the ligthing is at its best.

Etosha is on par with reserves like the Serengeti in Tanzania.

Hello Edwin,

Great capture here as they are very nervy animals! I like the details of its horns and face! Lovely colours and good dof.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Wow, so sharp! Like it's grazing in front of my nose! oeh, those horns look also really pointy. Don't wanna mess with them.

Great details.
Great shot :)

Merel :)

Hi Edwin. Superb sharpness, contrast and colour which makes this antelope leap from the background. IMO the out of focus foreground would be better cropped from the image as it tends to distract the attention from the subject.

Hi Edwin,
Beautiful animal and a great capture of it to. Tack sharp...focus can't get any better then this. Shallow DOF makes the animal stand out well from the surroundings. Very nice work Edwin!
