Nice portrait. I like the creamy background.

Hi Sandy,
Like Jerry said - nice portrait! I think you absolutely nailed the DoF here - all the critical bits are tack sharp, but the background is really nice and soft (and creamy!). I'm not sure if this is a crop or full frame, but if it's a crop and you have room below, I'm thinking that given the angle of the head (and where the springbok is looking) it might strengthen the image a little if you position the head a little higher in the frame (so a little less room above, and a little more room below). But...nice as posted...
Cheers...
Brad
