    Lovely antelope, usually seen on open sand/ Dessert plains. Nice to see one in green surroundings!

    Nice one Dumay, like the detail, colour and the hint of catchlight. I just wonder if there should be less FG and more above and perhaps?

    Great light, exposure, catchlight.

    I also would suggest some off the bottom and more on the top to balance.

    I really like seeing antelope given some airtime and this is beautifully lit with really nice background. Would agree with previous comments regarding the foreground. Good pov here, but less FG would add to the strength, I'm sure.

    A nice simple capture of an animal in its habitat. Looks similar to our pronghorn. Agree about taking a little off the blurred FG.

    I find it strange that getting a good image of a Springbok is to me at least very difficult, there is someting about their colouring?

    Agree with the crop recommendations.
