Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A beautiful & interesting picture of these Kobus leche, seven does, a calf & on the right a buck all except the calf heads down drinking from the edge of the water on which their reflections & that of the sky above is reflected. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Comment from Envision
Very nice timing on this one Fred. I like how you caught them all drinking and the space between the alpha male and the others. The horns stand out nicely and the colors look good.

Another great picture you have done. You have such an opportunity where you are to photograph the wild life in their environment. I am enjoying the beautiful fur on these antelopes

I always enjoy your interesting artist notes. I would love to see them in action in the knee deep water. I like their golden red coats with the light under bellies.

My pleasure.

Comment from Browncat
Perfect lighting for this excellent composition. The deer are so beautiful lined up in union, so each has a slightly different body posture. Very pleasing colors, too.

Very interesting creatures , they are beautiful and I love the way they are lined up to get a drink together, it's awesome to see nine Antelope in one scene, they are well focused, this image is clear, exposure is managed well, the colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented!

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
These antelopes are thirsty. And from the previous review of the lion I see a connection. He is not going to starve for the next few days. A nice looking and interesting shot! Thanks for sharing!

I rather like your close up panoramic shots of animals. I also enjoy your text with the pictures you take. This one is very nice involving all that busy brown imagery above the calm water below. A very pleasant picture to enjoy. Reasons for my five star vote.

Quite an impressive chorus line. It is a natural for this panoramic presentation. It appears as though the females don't have horns. A very sharp image with beautiful colors.
