Description
This is a photograph of a series of images capturing the movement of a horned animal. The image is divided into frames that document the progression of the animal running or leaping, captured in mid-motion. The setting appears to be an enclosed area with a fenced boundary visible in the background. The ground is earthy, and the movement is presented in a way that displays the dynamics of the animal’s motion across the frames, showing different phases of its stride.
