Hi Rachel, Roans are always a nice antelope to photograph with a lot of character.
Personally I feel you could have come out a bit more to add some 'breathing space' all round, it's a wee bit tight for me. Also I would have waited for him to raise his head, a better portrait and also would have avoided the grasses on the neck. Probably me, but lifting the Blacks a hint, likewise the Shadows, Contrast & any Clarity may help the finer detail come through. The depth of yellow is quite dominant, but again, just my take, as the image for me has a feel or appearance of just being a bit 'heavy' overall, if you know what I mean, Processing with a lighter touch???
I think you know the direction.

Beautiful colours I wonder though are they a just little saturated in the roan, perhaps a tiny bit less contrast?

Hi Rachel -- Lovely looking antelope . I too find it a bit tight all around and since i am not familiar with the colours of the subject so i can't give my thoughts on it but on the first look i thought it is a bit over saturated .
TFS !

Thanks everyone. I too would have preferred a raised head but it was not to be. Invariably they turned as they raised it and walked away. I'll take a look at the suggestions, particularly the contrast and saturation.
Happy Halloween,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
details as usual and I do not expect it different from you. I did not read all comments above. For me, you squeezed the Sable a tad into the frame. I would like to see more space around it. As you know me with space, just love to give the animals their freedom 
Have a great day
Ciao Anette
