this is new one to me and i just had a good read on its genus..
you got it in a good environment surround and even lighting
a good sharp wildlife shot..it looks a bit akin to the skeleton of the hyena..and thus the bear
but i see its listed as antelope and horse tagged
great bit of new life for me
thanks

Hello Eyal,
this shot is amazing. Excellent light shows off the greeat details of this animal. Excellent POV, colors and sharpness. Nice to see them in the natural setting.

Hello Eyal,
Nice capture of this Sabel. I love the warm colours as well as the texture of the grass. It looks like a very hot day by the sheen on the Sabels coat. He almost looks as though he is sweating. Nicely Done! Janice/Canada

What a beautiful and impressive animal that you have very well captured in this natural environment ! The light was difficult but you manage well... Congratulations Eyal and thanks for sharing.

Hi Eyal

This is a grand looking beast. Look at those menacing horns. I bet they can do some serious damage. Nice light with all the technical stuff spot on. Thanks.
