Stampede! This looks like a rare find, though with the fence it appears to be a farm of preserve. Interesting watching the behaviour.

Great capture! So much motion going on but you still have a lot of clarity.

Very nice stampede of wildebeest capture. Pity about the fence being visible at the top.

Good movement you captured here. I like that they are running off the frame.

Why not zoom in and only show the wildebeest and not the fence in the background?

Fence hurts the wild feeling. Awesome action, maybe a tighter crop? 7

the toning adds to this image

Great shot, I kinda wish they had a bit more headroom in the image but still a good capture.

TERRIFIC image. What a thrill to have been able to capture this!!

Looks great in black and white. Love the energy.

wow, great action shot, and where were you to capture this, good conversion to black and white

Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

That's pretty neat with all the dust flying.

a real stampede, lovely shot

Beautiful with all the light dust

Nicely done - just enough dust, but not so much it hides the rear animals.

really like the image, but i would have shown more of the ground before the wildebeests it would make it much stronger

Wonderful sight and well handled exposure. I wonder what a closer crop would be like, especially at least to remove the fence which reminds me too much of a safari park rather than of sheer natural beauty

Love the pov, the sense of movement that the dust conveys, the sense of purpose from the herd.

My least favorite animals of the wild kingdom. I watched a documentary on them and they are the dumbest animals. They deserve to be ate. However, this is a fantastic photo. This captures the action and reminds very much of the documentary I watched. Fantastic capture. I gave it a 9!

The only thing I might have done is to clone out the fencing. Great shot.

I wish the fence weren't there... it would be so much more emotive. But still, it's fascinating. That kicked up dust is wonderful.
Not voting yet.

The dust. The animals. The wild movement. Neat photo which I quite like!
03/13/2009 02:16:43 PMPost actions
well at least they are running away from you.. nice
03/13/2009 01:57:35 PMPost actions
can't help feeling a tighter crop would have exaggerated the sense of their numbers and made for an even more intense shot.. the shot itself is great though!
03/13/2009 12:37:44 PMPost actions
I would not want to be in front of them! Nice in B&W

This type of photography leaves me speechless, its something I probably never will get to see but your images makes it real. Thanks you for this!

I like the movement in this, but if the fence was cropped out it would be better.

Amazing look at nature at work. Would love to see the colour version of this.

The dust trail makes this a great shot. Well captured.

Wow great shot pity you could not get rid of the fence.

Must have been a fantastic sight, love the dust trails they've created :)

This is so great - it have something to it - just love it - the only critism is that ita a bit unsharp - 8

The dust trails really give a great sense of motion

Nice shot, I like the dust being kicked up and the choice to do B&W. It looked like they were in the wild until i saw the fence in the top of the frame. That's ok though. Nice work.
03/11/2009 05:37:17 PMPost actions
Awesome photo... If I were to nitpick though, I would try to crop it to get rid of the fence, I find that it is the only thing that removes the natural feel to this. The dust that is kicked up makes this image though.
03/11/2009 05:14:04 PMPost actions
Great photo but I would have cropped the fence out to 'trick' the voters that the wildebeest's arent captive. But that is just me
03/11/2009 01:21:52 PMPost actions
personally i would crop the fence off. it would give the picture more wild freedom.

Very rugged! Was this taken in Africa during the migration?
