    Not having my 'Bumper Boy's African ID Book' to hand, I trust my identification is correct?:D

    Taken in Samburu National Park, Kenya.

    Hey Steve - What a brute this guy is. I believe he's been putting on the feedbag. You've pulled some great color out of the strong light from its left and made for an interesting shot. Love the spotlighted detail - excellent exposure control. The horns are ebony beauties! I like the background and foreground here as well. Great image.

    Excellent composition. As Dan mentioned, light looks too harsh and you managed it well.

    Looks like you handled the side lighting very well, and you kept some detail in the shadow area. I live how black the horns are.

    Beautiful animal. Love the detail in those horns. I might take a little of the blue out of the shadowed whites.

    I love the graphic look of the antlers. If you have enough pixels, try a tight crop of them to see if it looks good.
