Congratulations to marc2307 for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 15 votes - View Previous Winners


The Sable with it's majestic swept back horns are my favourite African antelope, here one morning in the Moremi Game Reserve, I was fortunate to capture a small herd crossing a stream, hitching a ride are the ever present Red-billed Ox-peckers.

A Chacma baboon mother & baby make a successful landing, these guys aren't too fond of water, but here in the Okavango, water is part & parcel of life.

A great set Marc. I would make some picks, but I don't want to jump to conclusions ~ Ron

Excellent Marc....they are such beautiful antelopes and to photograph them, let alone see them in action is a real bonus.

I also love the sable; my favourite as well. I've seen them more often on recent trips to Botswana than in the past. And great oxpecker action.

Hi Gero

Although this was a small/narrow stream, the possibility of crocs lurking can't be ruled out, hence why most treat water with a healthy respect by leaping across.

Very nice work. The directional tension in the first image is an eye catcher for sure.
