    Not a very often photographed or seen antelope ... blends in so well to his environs ,I was happy when I captured this individual out in the open on the side of a Koppie

    Hi Peter i like the hi key effect you have produced here but the square crop is not working for me, but that is more of a personal preference

    Hi Peter - this is an interesting juxtaposition to the others in this series that you have done. The klipspringer is so much smaller in the frame than your other subjects that I looked at it a few times before commenting. In the end, I decided it works for me. I like the diagonal line of the rock and that goes into the lrc.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Possibly the klipspringer is a bit too close to the center. I would look at taking some off the left side and see how that appears. I like your b&w series and it makes me see there are many ways to effectively and dramatically present wildlife.

    I like the look you achieved in the metallic rocks and the overall contrast, Peter.
    It's a taste thing, especially since you are aiming at fine art prints here - but I would shave some off the top and LHS, the central placement of the klipspringer isn't working for me personally.

    A terrific image you have achieved here. I agree on cropping some off of top and left to make this even more powerful.
