This is simply fantastic!!! I guess I am not a very sophisticated person/photographer but for me this is REAL nature photography....

Steve, I love this image. Very nice pose that all three should be in focus (especially at f4) and lined up nicely with the same HA on each. Love the colors. I agree with your comment on the ridge in the BG, but it isn't a deal breaker because the viewer is focused where they should be on the eyes of the antelope. Well done.

This is really a fine image. Believe me, the ridge in the BG never got my attention till I read it in the description.

Hi Steve,
The symmetry in your composition is wonderful. Good detail and a wonderful background.
Thanks for sharing,
Mark.

Steve - love this. Fantastic head on poses, pleasing tones and I don't know if I would have even noticed the ridge had you not pointed it out. Great job on converting your only opportunity at the shot.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Ofer,
Thank you for your repost as well. Quite a difference from the original. Makes me wonder what people have been seeing for the last three years from my posts. I followed those threads you were involved in with the color space issues but since no one had ever made comments about my images I assumed I was good. After sending some prints to the local print shop (first prints I've made in over three years) and being thoroughly disappointed in how they turned out, it seems I have some research to do on what I'm doing with my workflow and monitor settings.

Hi Steve,
As far as I undestand, only people who use Internet Explorer (like me) will see a difference between sRGB and Adobe RGB so maybe most of the members in here use a Mac.

Steve, this is one killer image. I find your original post truer to the actual colors. Frankly, the line didn't bother me at all.
-
I have to say ditto to Marina's comments. This is excellent Steve, a great moment getting all three looking right at you.

Steve,
Really outstanding and really unusual which makes this so special. Where was this?
I do think dodging the line behind to reduce the impact would be good.
Possible contest winner.

Hi Marina, I haven't changed anything in the colours/contrast etc. I just converted to sRGB as should be on the web. When you open the image in Photoshop you will see the colours as shown in the repost.

Hi Ofer:
I understand on the conversion and convert everything myself. However, just on looking at the 2 posts and not reading anything, I do feel that the colors of the original post look more natural to my eyes here. I just went by what I saw on the screen in front of me.

Hi Steve, not sure where my post went on this, but will try to retrieve my thoughts from the memory banks. 
Love the colours, the defused soft, rich tones & hues and the variety of oranges within the image, however the image to me has an almost illustrative look & feel, that might be the ISO coming through? It's as if these guys were wearing a football kit, as the markings are almost identical in every way, just clones of each other. Because there is so little blacks in the image, where they appear they certainly give form & structure, like an artist would do if they were constructing this image, a nice effect. Just really like the almost minimalist content of the image.
The ridge doesn't bother me either and prefer the OP, I feel it gives more context to the image and without it there seems something lacking.
Another cracking image of this species Steve.

Hi Steve, a bit late to the party but how about 'The Three Amigos' Love the soft light here, and thats just your style, late afternoon light.
Perfect positioning from all three, great eye contact, and of course, the surrounding grasses compliment them very well. Congrats on a fine image.

Steve,
Excellent pose and like the color tones. Very very nice image.

Top class image with great natural elements :) soft light and awesome colour

Very nice, love the soft colors and textures. Good light and beautiful poses.
-
I'm very late but it's really an outstanding and memorable shot and so I wanted to add my cheers. I'll be trying to "show off subtle differences in head shapes" for years now.

Wonderful image in all respects, but especially the poses, and light. Very, very well done Steve !!!
