Somewhat fitting, that this was published on 1X during the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

Within the context of the Rugby World Cup, this is hardly the gentle and serene view opponents of the Springboks will have had. Have never quite been able to reconcile this beautiful animal with the ferocity of a Springbok rugby player. Great perspective!
Colmar Wocke  Let's hope that this is what the opponents will see as they, the Springboks, run on towards the tryline! Thanks for stopping by!

Something very special about this image in how the three horisontal elements of background, horns and stripy bodies work together to make this so pleasing. Well done!

Colmar Wocke  Thanks Ali.
Shows nicely how confusing this must be for a predator chasing these agile antelopes and trying to concentrate on one.
Colmar Wocke  Very good observation Mark - yes, confusing indeed for a predator!

Colmar you really have outdone yourself here...such clarity and such beauty in these animals. However, the bokeh in the background is competition for the animals because that is so gorgeous also. I love this shot. Congratulations and go well. Phyllis
