Hi Duncan another cool action shot !!!
Again a bit tight for my liking ... other than that stunning

Which waterhole ?

Cubitje Quap - morning light.

Yep - I agree with you re a little too tight - next time a 300 2.8 + 1.4TC. Lots of space behind in the frame - but not much in front or on top on this one sadly. Tricky to follow with the human eye amidst the birds and they are jumping up a level too.

I am looking for an excuse to go back !

Nice water hole !!!
Well fully understand the dilemma with the human eye , we all do fight that problem at times .

All the space you could want in this one - just heading away from the camera and head in the shadows unfortunately. What can you do !
