Jerry: this male really stands out so very nicely against the muted oof background. My only minor sugguestion would be to crop a bit from the top and the right to make him even more prominent in the frame.Very good otherwise. Richard

Really like the light and head turn Jerry. I also love when you can get one on a hill like this to help give he image some depth. I might be tempted to move this a tiny bot more to the right with a minor crop.

Best viewed large to see the eye catchlight! Nice lighting and good depth of field control...well done.

Somehow I missed this one when it was posted. I actually like this pronghorn image better than the one just posted. IMHO the BG supports the pronghorn better than the one on the ridge photo. I think you could even make this a vertical image. I must admit I envy your skill at getting photos of these fleet animals. Thanks for sharing.
