The delicateness of the animal matches that of the BG.

Excellent detail in the steenbok Ken. There is just enough sharp grass and it fades nicely into the oof bg.

This is very nice Ken.

[Steve Canuel]

Nice detail Ken. Neat to see the ears turned forward like that.

[Ofer Levy]

Lovely animal, nice IQ and colours. Not crazy about seeing only the head, neck and one leg. I think a slight head turn toward the camera could have improved this.

[Rachel Hollander]

Ken - nice pose and color. I would prefer a little more room at the bottom if you have it.

TFS,

Love the pose and overall colour here Ken, really showing just how big their eyes are in relation to head size.

Thanks to everybody for your comments.

Ofer,

I have the whole animal, but the crop was intentional, as it was meant to be imitating the second mug shot.

Beautiful colours and the IQ is top notch Ken
