Hello Murilo,
Welcome on TN. You started with a great and famous action scene. A scene you will never forget, I think. I hope you got more photos of this moment. Maybe there were also crocodiles. Excellent sharpness and beautiful natural colours. Good composition.

Hello Murilo !
Wow, what a geat capture ! You managed to freeze these Gnous perfectly, in great poses full of motion and action, with excellent sharp details. Really impressive. I also like the nice natural colors, the composition and the POV. It must have been a great moment to watch this. Very well done !
Valerie.

very impressive poses
great timing!

Excellent shot. May be a little lower pov would have looked even more interesting, but it is not always possible to get the pov of our choice in the wild. Anyways, a terrific action filled moment captured on camera. Thanks for sharing.
