Central Kalahari Game Reserve is in my opinion the best place to view these wonderful antelope ( Etosha comes second)

Good capture.  Not the usual stately pose, but he is positioned nicely and the background is clean.

HI Ken,

Technically sound and nicely documented. The vegetation in its mouth adds interest to this shot.

I actually had a chance to photograph these at a drive through animal park here in Texas. And they are some beautiful antelope, I agree.. I like the look-back pose and great natural setting, it's right at homedevil

Great eye contact and munching pose, nice to see one out in rich vegetation, I am used to seeing them during the dry season in parched environments.  devil
