Harshad,

I have not tried a vertical as I wanted to include the whole body of the adult, but I will give it ago. Did you crop at the rear of the youngster and leave a reasonable amount of room out front?

[Harshad Barve]

This is what I want to say ,
Cropping from Original RAW will deliver quality and more space(?)
What do you say

[David Fletcher]

Excellent light and details in the fur Ken. Like the head angles. Be good to see variations on crops, but that's for interest rather than preference as like this as presented.

[Ken Watkins]

Here is another crop slightly larger than Harshad's, I preferred to keep the entire calf in frame.

[Harshad Barve]

This repost is fantastic
Lovey shot

Ken, I like both the original and your repost with the entire calf. Details, light, and comp work very well. A very fine image of one of my favorite antelope.

[Steve Canuel]

Beautiful animal. Nice detail in that fur. Both the original and your vertical crop work for me.
