An impala (Aepyceros melampus Greek aipos "high" ceros "horn" + melas "black" pous "foot") is a medium-sized African antelope. The name impala comes from the Zulu language. They are found in savannas and thick bushveld in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, northern Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, southern Angola, northeastern South Africa and Uganda (the source of that country's capital city's name - Kampala).

Hi Vicma.
I am impressed with elegance of a nice grope of wonderful animals. Great diagonal composition, terrific reproduction of a skin tones and other attractive details of the impalas and impressive surroundings. I like wide DOF and details of the entire scene, excellent lighting and rich natural colours. My best wishes and TFS. Perfect work, as usual.

Hi Vicma,

This picture makes me want to go back to South Africa! We learned to identify impalas by the McDonalds M on their rear ends. Something I will never forget. Beautiful shot of this quintet walking along in their natural habitat. Beautiful colors, fine details, and a lovely scene.

Hi Vicma,

Excellent capture, great detail and light. Very well done and TFS.

Bello conjunto Víctor. Evidentemente la luz era muy potente pero eso casi no ha influido en el resultado, ya que los colores y texturas son preciosos. Hay que hilar fino para encontrar alguna sombra molesta.
Abrazo.

Hi Vicma,

I've been away from TN for a while...traveling mostly. I see that you traveled too... to S.Africa. How exciting. This is a very sharp image of these lovely impala. They look so healthy. I have the same lens and really like it. I realize that one doesn't have much time to think when shooting wildlife. Perhaps tiling the camera up just a bit to avoid the foreground shadow would have been a little better... IMHO : ) I just think it is a little distracting. Even cropping it out seems to put more attention on the animals.
