Comment from Envision
I have never seen one of these before. Their agility and speed is well captured. I really like the high jump you caught. The light is flattering to their coats and shows of the details and shine nicely.

Comment from Robert Plain
Thanks, SG. For the beautiful photograph and also for the commentary.
I knew a lot of it from watching nature shows, but
I always learn a little more. Great picture showing the action and super clear.

Comment from michiganmike
I have often seen this behavior in films but always wondered what it's purpose was. Glad to hear that nobody really knows why they pronk. A beautiful shot that shows this peculiar behavior in a great setting.

With such a high jump he has to be in the world's top three! Your fine composition captures a very enjoyable action moment. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done!

Well focused shot of the springbok in action. Very eye catching capture. The one in mid-air caught my eye right away. Lighting is excellent and background adds nice contrast.
