very strong portrait of a pronghorn. Good detail in the face and body. It seems to me it could use just a touch more contrast. One of my favorite animals. Thanks for sharing.

This is a nice, clean capture. Most pronghorn are found in open, brightly lit areas, so this is atypical in that it appears to be with full shade. In studying the image I was aware of the bright lines of grass behind his head, so I suppose ideally they could have been elsewhere. I also find the expression, a little less than classic, probably caught mid chew...but the single tiny stem of grass in his mouth help to explain the expression, so maybe it is a positive rather than a negative!

Thanks for the comments. This guy was in a small depression very late in the day. When I took this, the light was fading fast.
