Hi Juan,
you managed to take a very nice picture: sharp and natural colours and contrast.
Compliments!! Maybe I would have liked it better with a little bit extra surroundings. Did you crop it or was it the whole frame?

Hi Juan,

Because of the three lines on the backside of the impala forming a rough "M", the game rangers in the Kruger has nicknamed them "McDonalds". They are fast food for lions, leopards and cheetahs in the park.

Hello JJ,
What a fine capture of this beautiful impala!
Focus is spot on, with great details in the fur coat...
Attractive colours, the image is well composed and it is aslways kind of surprising to see how well groomed they are!
Greetings,
Pablo -
