Hi all... I photographed this pronghorn a couple months back here in northern Utah out at Antelope Island State Park.

1DIV @ 700mm
1/1600 f/8 iso400
vertical capture

Thanks for taking a look...

John

I like the effect of the side lighting, showing the winter coat.

Cool image !
BTW any particular reason for using 1/1600 at f 8 ?
I'm asking because the horizon cutting the face is bit annoying, had you used a smaller aperture the effect could have been diluted.

lovely light and exposure here John - nice BG too
maybe lighten the shaded patch on the forehead a tad?

Love the way the Pronghorn's head is so prominent in the frame John, makes it appear almost 3D :^)

I think Morkel's suggestion of adding a little light to the forehead would is spot on.

Nice capture - the pronghorn is isolated from the bg nicely, it may be a bit too centered in the shot for my tastes though.
