    I thought I would post a theme image of another antelope that we don't seem to see posted that often, the Sable. Taken at Tswalu Game Reserve, South Africa.

    Canon 7DII
    100-400 II @ 400mm
    1/800
    f5.6
    ISO 400
    HH from safari vehicle, slight crop from left and below, levels, curves, sharpened in CCPS.

    C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,

    Rachel

    Hi Rachel ,
    this is a beauty of an Antelope , such a nice looking species .
    I just had only two chances to photograph them in Namibia , and i was not perfectly happy .
    I love the colors / tones in this image , you have extracted wonderful detail in the fur , very fine at this size , so well done i think .
    I like the crop in general but would have wished for more space on top instead of the bottom .The trotting pose gives a bit of dynamic to the frame , but i think they do look way more impressive and elegant when their heads are up .... but hey when they do this trotting the heads are mostly down .
    Regrading the colors i might drop the oranges a fraction and a tiny bit the reds .... just a thought .

    TFS Andreas

    Always good to see this, my favourite antelope here again Rachel, can only echo Andreas's comments for a little more room above and less below.

    Hi Rachel. An impressive antilope for sure with awesome pair of horns. Nice details and sharpness.

    A magnificent specimen here Rachel - I love these, probably my favourite antelope, and yet I don't have a decent photo of one.
    I agree with the comments above re space on top, otherwise this looks good.
