    Default Grace of the grasslands

    This image is from Velavadar, Gujrat - India. Its a beautiful grassland habitat and I was there one of the late afternoons when the setting sun was splashing some wonderful yellow-golden-orange light around.
    This Male Blackbuk was showing off its full grace - a typical charactristic glory of antelopes.

    Canon 40D, 500mm+1.4x, ISO 400, 1/1000 f5.6 , -1/3, Gitzo tripod and Wimberly II head.

    Gorgeous and beautiful light in this. Like the pose and "heads up", although not sure the crop choice with no room for virtual legs. Still, as presented, a gorgeous specimen. :)

    Beautiful animal and the horns have great detail. A few suggestions; even though the grass is obscuring the legs, for this comp, including them would have improved the image; I would have tried +2/3 to perhaps a +1 stop more light as the shadows are very dark and the soft light makes it look like the whites would not clip; and a head and antler portrait would have been good too.

    Great pose on this beautiful male, I didn't realize how long their horns were! I agree on more room on the bottom.:cool:
