    Steve,
    I love the soft lighting. I also like how the foreground and antelope are in sharp focus juxtaposed against the out of focus background. Seeing your images on this site all the time sure makes me miss the front range, the rockies and northern Colorado.
    Keep up the excellent work.

    God bless,

    chris

    Steve,

    I am going to have come visit you if you can get this close to all these creatures to use a 100-400mm and make these great images.

    With that head turn, these light works just perfect. I also like how you framed him far to the right in the frame.

    Hi Steve. I really like how the pronghorn seems to just pop out from the background. The pose, light, colors, and sharpness are all top notch. I agree with Robert about the comp. Well done.

    This is a beauty, Steve. Great light, detail, and composition. It's an extra touch that he's standing on a slight rise.

    Steve,
    I echo Robert's comments. People who blame the 100-400 should take a leaf from your book.

    Nice composition. I like the colour, sharpness and the details in this image. I like the way the ears are raised.
    Cheers,

    Great capture Steve... I like the slight rise in the foreground that the pronghorn is standing on as well, which gives a nice separation from the background terrain in my opinion.

    This is so lovely! Gorgeous light, framing, details... 320mm? Is it unusual to get this close to these guys?

    Thank you all for the nice comments. Pausing on the little ridge was a fortunate piece of luck.

    Chris, glad the pics bring back some good memories for you.

    Robert, if you're ever headed out this way, give me a head's up. But be sure to bring the long glass too :)

    Caroline, these guys are usually quite skittish and bolt off across the prairie as soon as you stop your car.
