Taken after a frantic Wild Dog chase as they had cornered a young calf in a pan (water hole), but thankfully it had managed to escape. A very exciting time as you saw how the WD pack interacted with each other and their persistent 'hounding', sadly they did not take anything down.

Thanks to those who posted or viewed the previous thread.

A very nice portrait of this handsome antelope, Steve. Just enough head turn to get the light on the face for the best effect, and nice complementary colours in the bg.

The head turn gives you a really nice portrait composition with the horns filling the top right corner of the frame. The soft background is a nice complement.
