    Default Evening Clouds

    From last weekend, evening storms were passing through the area. This was taken after 8 pm, facing at an angle towards the sunset as the last rays illuminated the clouds. I like it but not sure how well it translate as an image to those who weren't there to enjoy the scene. Some banding in the sky when I saved for web not really visible in the TIFF. 7D, 500/4, f5.6, 1/250s, ISO 800, +1.33 EC, cloned out a dark blob in the FG grass, HH from vehicle, cropped, 79% of original.

    Hi Steve, I didnt have to be there to enjoy this. Lovely soft light and pastel colours, and I like the eye contact. An opportunity well used.

    Hi Steve, love the subtle, subdue tones, colours and hues of the FG/BG in this one, really gives the Pronghorn (?) a great platform to shine through with it's detail and markings. The low angle, space and position overall really works on this one.

    Cracking stuff.

    Steve, this is really, really pretty. I just love the soft tones, the pose of the antelope and the whole feel of the image. Delightful.

    Steve - this is great, nice soft sunset tones combined with a nice pose from the pronghorn with head turn towards you. Good POV too.

    TFS,

    Real nice capture and comp, Steve. Love the pose, eye contact, colors, and that last light BG really is a great touch. Nicely done!

    A cracker Steve, love that sunset sky, the low angle and the pose. Good techs too (steady hand ).
    If anything I wish for a bit less of the OOF grass in front of the animal
