This was taken at dawn in Etosha National Park in Namibia. The Springbok had recently birthed, so there were literally thousands of them covering nearly every bit of land as far as the eye could see.

THis is beautiful. I agree, I would love to see a larger version. The border makes it look like a movie frame. It's great!

This is real nice. I'd love to see a larger version just to be able to look at all the details. I'm a big fan of the border.

Superb use of the two trees as compositional elements. I love the way you show the wide open spaces.

This reminds me of an old painting. Very nicely done.

It is fortunate that you were there to see this event, and also that you were at the place where the two trees could be used in the shot. They sort of make the shot by emphasizing the flat and wide open expanse of plain going on to the featureless horizon. Magnificent view.
It's a little dark on my monitor, however, that gives it an exotic mysterious magical element.

Lovely shot. What wide open spaces those springbok have to roam in.

Lovely springbok, and I can almost smell the dust and heat. Great capture!
