Wow, you really did a great job stopping the action of all the springboks. The little bit of terrain that I see in your photo reminds me of the grasslands of Montana.

I enjoyed your artist notes about the springbok.

Interesting shot. Good observation.I like the horizontal framing which captures a lot of action of the springboks. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!

Nice shot of these springboks literally springing across the plain.Good stop action but still having a sense of motion. Good color. I like the pano shot that creates a real sense of space. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

The springbok is an interesting animal, it's one that I have not seen before, nor heard of, so I really appreciate your interesting artists notes, this is an amazing animal! Your image demonstrates its ability to leap high in the air ! The landscape here is in such contrast to the landscapes that I am used to here in Ak. I love the blonde colored grasses in this vast field upon which the springbok are moving through, I can see the slope of the hill behind them. This is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well controlled, the beautiful animals bring this scene to life ! Very well composed and presented!

    springboks are the most abundant antelopes in Southern Africa

A great shot that is perfect for this contest. The leaping motion of these antelope is well captured and I think the panoramic presentation shows that the motion is not restricted to one or two individuals. Good luck in the voting.

Wow, this is just stunning. I believe I'm looking at the contest winner here. I love the action in this shot. How lucky to ge able to capture so many animals in one go. Informative artist's notes too - I've often wondered where the name came from.

A beautiful stop action picture of these Springbok pronking or leaping up into the air an action that gives them their name in Afrikaans. Beautiful panoramic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.
