Morkel, now you're just rubbing it in with the IQ at that ISO!! 
Very cute little antelope and although you have plenty of the feel of the bush environment it isn't at all intrusive. Lovely alert looking pose and good DOF.

Mate, works every way for me. Of course, if it were mine, I would eliminate the twigs intruding onto the cutie.
Cheers, Jay

Great capture Morkel! Amazing image quality for ISO 6400.
Is this comon to see them with a single antler?

Nicely done Morkel, illustrates how good hi ISO is when it's handled correctly. Still can't break the 800 barrier, but did shoot some movie of my on going subject. Good fun all these bolt ons and hi ISO's.

Robert,
I really think that I have allready explained myself sufficiently, the IQ is not perfect in my opinion and I presume I am entitled to have an opinion of my own, that is why I wished Morkel a better sighting.
This is after all supposed to be a crtique forum.

Great angle Mork, considering this was captured from a vehicle. I really like the colours in this, the eye contact, and that the bokkie is in the open. Excellent job with the high ISO.

Cute little guy and I like the wide-eyed look. Neat fur pattern in the ears and a nice healthy looking coat too. His left eye seems a little clouded (less crisp) when compared to the right. Maybe just a touch too much shadow recovery?

Ken,
You did not express "why" you felt the IQ was not good. Is it the high ISO and noise - I see no adverse noise issue. Is it the contrast - contrast looks good given the low light. I might have messed around with it some more but I would not have any specific recommendation with regards to modifying the look without downloading it and experimenting.
It is one thing to say the IQ is not good, it is another to articulate why you feel it is not good. You did not articulate the why.
And once you get by the why, it is always helpful to explain how the image might have been made better.

Thanks Rene...males normally have 2 small horns and females none. I don't know whether this one lost his one horn or whether he was born this way...

Mmhmm...didn't notice that before, Steve...did not do much shadow recovery as there were no shadows to deal with due to the time of day...will have to look at the RAW file...

The D3s is something special in capable hands. Great expression on the Grysbok Morkel.

Excellent details for ISO 6400 Morkel. Killer eye contact and pose.

Robert,
Thanks for your detailed explanation as to the requirements for elaborating on comments made hiere.
As you have asked, I find that all very high ISO images have a slight "unnatural" look to the colour, which is hardly surprising, and looking at this in PS confirms my opinion.
There is a slight edginess to this image and some slight noise in the BG which again is hardly surprising.
But then again I am basing my judgement, as we all do, on a relatively low IQ image.
I have no experience with Nikon, and certainly could not afford to change all of my gear, nor would I want to.
But as I said before any image of a Sharpe's Grysbok is worth taking, it is a rarely sighted animal, particularly as open as this.
Cheers
Ken

You guys living in the land of wild animals on 4 legs are very fortunate - Sharpe's Grey Buck, lions, elephants, tigers, etc.; here in Oz we only have wild "animals", also known as "hoons"
(https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Hoon) on 2 legs.
