Hi Annick,
very nice soft colours with excellent details. I like the pose you have caught this Waterbuck in and the tight framing works very well too.

Hi Annick,

Great shot of Waterbuck. Good pose and composition, sharp details and natural colours. 20 day safari - I guess you have a number pictures to sort out? My one day record is around 1000 shots; I did have to delete few;-)

TFS

Best wishes
