David inspired me to post my pronghorn portrait. Found this guy-off road in the Lamar Valley. He had been rounding up his harem and keeping an eye on me. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014 along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Classic portrait here Jerry, well composed with great detail and I like the framing the grasses provide at the bottom. devil

A classic shot, Jerry, with excellent techs. The composition is also lovely, with the grasses framing him.

Nice catch light and nice detail in the coat Jerry. Just a tad busy with the brush in front, but nice framing with the grasses below.

Jerry: I really like the pose and the composition. The soft light and oof background nicely set off the pronghorn. Richard
