Hallo Annick,
Je zou niet zeggen dat dit een foto is. Het lijkt alsof deze impala zo voor je staat. Wat een prachtig natuurlijk beeld. Kleuren, scherpte en diepte zijn schitterend. En dan ook nog in een ideale pose. Erg mooi!
Een goed weekend,
Peter

Hello Annick!
This is a lovely portrait of impala. I like not only details and DOF but (or the most! :>) - colouration of this picture. These tones are my favourite - not only natural but very delicate, the real African colours :)
I like also your idea for information about species and locality - the links are very useful and informative :)
All the best,
Radek

Hi Annick.
Great sharp image with nice detail especially the fine hairsin the inner ears.You were asking about the provinces. West and south are the provinces of Mpumulanga and Limpopo.Now part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park that links Kruger with Gomarezhou Park in Zimbabwe and Limpopo Park in Mozambique.Kruger is in the Mapumulanga province.Hope this will suffice.
Once again great pic and TFS,
erwin.
