Morkel - beautiful image with great detail. And a subject that is shy and usually takes off as soon as the vehicle slows.

TFS,

Morkel,

It has been a long time since we had a Steenbok on here, which is a great shame. There are two types of Steenbok one that runs way at great speed and one that stands still looking curiously, you clearly got one of the later.:)

Nice portrait Morkel!

Are there two species of steenboks?

Cheers,

Sabya - not that I know of, I think Ken was being "tongue-in-cheek" :) ;)

The clean background and soft light really brings out the details. Like the vertical composition as well.
