Cannot remember when I last saw a Pronghorn here in the Wildlife Forum
Well framed and BG is superb, subject stands out so nicely. Good choice of DoF. I find the whites on the face a tad bright but detail is there, you might wish to reduce HL or drop exposure just a bit.
Cannot really comment on colour as I have never seen the species in real life. I do like the reddish brown coat and white bands, as well as short ( prong) horns - interesting looking antelope and from what I have read it is built for speed (whew, 95km/h is quite something!)
Overall a very nice capture Jon, I especially like eye contact and proud pose from the subject - very well seen and captured!
Thank you so much for sharing, a pleasure to view,
A cracking image Jon , I just loved this one. Fantastic details and colours , a pure gem of an image. I think you have controlled the whites quite well , looks on border line of clipping. Superbly done.
Hi Jon, a very nice portrait indeed, great choice on DoF, as few folk go beyond f/8...
From recollection was it slightly overcast, the colours appear a bit muted, perhaps some may even suggest flat, however very reflect full no doubt? Cracking detail, think you could just open the eye up a wee bit, but personal choice, likewise losing the white patch bottom LHC, but no deal breaker.
Thanks very much for the feedback everyone, I think I was rather lucky on several occasions with the pronghorn, just got out of the car and they tolerated us without hardly batting an eye lid. I am fairly happy with the colours Steve, thanks.
Hi Jon - This is quite a nice pronghorn portrait. Love the bg. Nice detail and choice on the dof. Colors look realistic. You were lucky they tolerated you getting out of the car. Often they run off when the door opens or when some touron tries to get too close. I usually take a few through the open window for insurance.

Absolutely Rachel our guide has been going the past 20yr and he said he had never been able to get so close previously. I came to the inevitable, inescapable conclusion that it must have been my charm that captivated them
