I captured this Pronghorn buck in the Lamar Valley surveying his domain. He was herding the does and chasing rival bucks. Fun to watch. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014 along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Lovely pronghorn in a nice habitat. A head turn this way would have been nice, but I also like his staring into his beautiful terrain.

Nice behavioral capture, Jerry. The only place I've been that close to a Pronghorn was on Antelope Island, where they are pretty habituated to people.
