    John,
    I like the colours, clean background, sharpness in this image. Like the details and ears are interestingly turned in different directions. I would like to crop a bit from the left. I agree that we often tend to ignore the common subjects, which can give us good images as well. Thanks for sharing.
    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi

    Really nice picture of my favourite small antelope. I spend most of my time on Safari trying to get good photos of the smaller stuff. How many photos of Leopards in trees do you need?

    Very nice shot! I like the clean background and the eyes. The soft colors really work as well.

    OOF BG, pleasing comp of the head and torso, good DOF and overall sharpness and a pretty looking subject combine for a pleasing image.

    I might suggest a touch more contrast - looks like a soft light lower the contrast some. Though I do like the diffused look of the light I think it is worth investigating.

    I like the square format and framing of this one... works really well with how you captured that look right into the lens. :cool:

    Robert,
    I appreciate your input and the helpful suggestion. I'll try some contrast adjustments when I get back to my machine tonight.

    And, Sabyasachi, I'll try the crop.
