Hi Annick,

Good shot of something not often seen. They are usually standing around looking out for a lion or something, one usually wonders if they do sleep.
Nice natural colours and sharp.

Hi Annick,

Nice shot of this "penkop", as they are called when there horns are only that long. Very nice pose, unusual, well done!

Looks like it could be up and running in a heartbeat Annick. I have seen on TV these things take off from rest...Very alert..like a Taoist warrior...Neat shot as are all of yours from the Kruger!

Hi Annick

What a lovely and sweet moment captured here! Defnitely special and aside most photos of impalas i've seen :)
Technically, the picture is again impeccable, with a superb control of the DOF (i especially like how one can see exacly where the focus depth begins and ends) and excellent sharpness.
Very well exposed and composed, too.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Nice shot natural colours and sharp.

Hello Annick!

Ah, so this is famous impala after long run :-) Lovely animal in interesting pose. Even during sleep it looks very vigilant and ready for immediate escape.
