Wildlife Image of the Week for the week ending September 28th, 2012: D. Robert Franz - Close-up pronghorn

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations Robert!

Been working on pronghorn of late. This nice buck was far more concerned with another buck than with me sitting in my vehicle and approached to nearly MFD. For framing this was about all I could do. Afterwords I switched to a 300mm for some different comps. The light was diffused sun through heave smoke giving it a bit of a challenging color balance
