I can see the tears in his eyes and the sadness in his heart. Day is over... he lives for another day.

The backlighting is quite nice. I'm glad you managed to get it against a clean portion of the background without the road(?) cutting across the pronghorn.

Really like the light and the pose, don't care for the road. I would be very tempted to clone it out. Thanks for sharing.

The atmosphere in this image is really very nice Eirini. The low angle also really helps the look of this. I do find the road a pity and really detracts from my appreciation of this image as a whole. Further I would suggest to increase mid-tone contrast a bit on the buck alone.

gorgeous light here Eirini! Lovely composition too
I would perhaps boost contrast very slightly if it were mine... :wink:

Beautiful light and a very nice pose. I agree with Vincent about the road, but apart from that still a nice atmospheric image. :smile:

I like the cop on this. I do find a few things I might do differently though. I like the light you have to start with, but I do think it is a bit too warm. I might get rid of just a small portion of the yellow cast. I would also boost the contrast as it seems a tiny bit flat. The last thing is, it looks to need a small CW rotation (but that might be the hills playing tricks with my eyes). I am talking just 3% or so. Hope to see a repost...I think this one is worth making some corrections to bring it over the top.
