    Morkel - beautiful image with great detail. And a subject that is shy and usually takes off as soon as the vehicle slows.

    TFS,

    Morkel,

    It has been a long time since we had a Steenbok on here, which is a great shame. There are two types of Steenbok one that runs way at great speed and one that stands still looking curiously, you clearly got one of the later.:)

    Nice portrait Morkel!

    Are there two species of steenboks?

    Cheers,

    The clean background and soft light really brings out the details. Like the vertical composition as well.
