Fascinating creature Ken. Reminds me of a longhorned grasshopper for some reason. I like the feel of the open grasslands with the other antelope in the BG.

Beautiful image, somewhat ugly antelope.

I think all Hartebeests look strange but this one take the cake Ken, excellent shot of this strange animal.

Subject looks great, with ideal depth of field control. I like the background wildlife and sort of wish there were more subjects in the far out of focus zone, adding to the animalscape effect.

I actually like all Haartebeest ( my obsession with Antelope), and have seen many of the sub-species, my favourite is the more common Red.
I am hoping to add another to my "tick list" this year in Ethiopia.
As for lack of background, the plains were pretty quite this year, I cannot say I blame the animals for staying in the shade
