Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS

I took this picture December. And every time I looked at it I wanted to delete it. Somehow I could not get myself to delete it. Kept thinking about it. Tonight I decided that I like it. It captured the "panic" of the wildebeest running away.

I know 9 out of 10, if not 10 of 10 people, will hate this image.

Oh, I know I messed up the border a bit, still trying to fix that.

Any comments welcome.

I really like this image. You're right about it catching the panic of the animals. The style is very similar to work done in National Geographic, Micklen is one who comes to mind. (not sure of the spelling) My only problem is the exposure and noise, however this looks like it was done on the fly and most can be taken care of in PS.

Hi Jan_vdw,

I agree with cryan about his National Geographic Comment, please don't delete it. 10 years from now you'll be amazed at this picture...just make sure the majority of your shot won't come out like this anymore :)

I love the pic!
