The gentle giants

in our South African bush. The largest antelope in the world.

They can only run about 40 kph (25mph) but can jump 3 m (10ft) from standing start.

I love these beautiful peaceful animals.

Beautiful capture of these magnificent animals and I love the background.

Very nice pic. 3m from standing start. Wow, that's incredible.

Nice shot. I love how one is looking right at the camera.

Terrific capture of this dynamic duo

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I love the one who's looking at you and how you applied that blurring technique you were doing last month to the background. I had a feeling it would really go well with many of your wildlife shots.

[narayani]

Lovely

[Babs]

Nice one. I am going to post some Adamski photos for a few days. Your photos last month gave me inspiration.

@olivetreeann Thanks to you Ann, it was your suggestion that made me try it :-)

[Kathy A]

Lovely animals

[Christina]

Stunning shot

Love your edit

Beautifully captured and presented Diana:)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@ludwigsdiana I will have to find out how this is done and see if I can replicate it in the programs I have. It would be fun to see if I could isolate my grandchildren in a shot with this effect.

[Diana]

@olivetreeann That would be so amazing Ann, it is so easy and very addictive ;-)

I found the tutorial of Nicole Young to be the easier one, I only used motion blur and not path blur. Have a go Ann, it is so much fun.

@ludwigsdiana Thanks for the tip!
