Ridge Line Pronghorn

It looks like you had some strong light to work with.  I like the pose of this pronghorn.  Colors look right on.  The highlights have some detail, but I would like to see more.  I find the shadow area right behind the pronghorns horns to be distracting.  Maybe a slightly lower angle could have eliminated it.  Of course, I don't know the situtation you were in at the time.  Overall a very good pronghorn image.  Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jerry, the exposure looks right on to my eye. ideally I wouldn't want the ridge just under his neckline, but it still works fine. I always hope for these guys to stand on the ridge leaving a nice distant BG, but they never want to cooperate with me! 
Still, nicely done. 

Difficult light but you handled the exposure very well on this shot, Jerry!  The ridgeline with the OOF background adds a nice sense of 3D.  The only nit I have is that the background shadow kind of absorbs the antelope's horns.  A nice capture, overall!

Exposure looks fine and the buck is a prime example of the species.  The only tiny unfortunate circumstance is the contrasty lighting gave some dark shadows in the background and the postiion of horns against that blackness causes us to lose the shape of the namesake black prongs.

Hi Jerry,

I agree with your comment about liking this one owing to the fact it's on a ridge. I would also add that this one appeals to me because the entire ridge and foreground is in relatively sharp focus (without an OOF zone at the bottom of the frame) - and you only have a single OOF zone in the background. This can be tough to achieve in a field situation...but in my view always appears more natural (than an image that has both OOF foreground and background).

The pose, lighting, and overall colour palette are also very pleasing - nicely done!

Cheers...

Brad

Jerry,
Great image of my favourite non-African antelope
