I think antelopes have straight black horns. Oh well, don't matter. Congrats! I'm glad I was there with you when you scored this shot.
Love,
Mom :^)
edit* If anyone is interested. I was right next to him with my camera and got this pic. Mine was handheld (vs Fetors Tripod) and I'm using a Rebel and Tamron lenses. Still not too bad. But you can see the superior detail with his shot.
Great finish Cory. Congrats. I believe it's an Eland, the largest of the antelope family. The horns are a bit more twisted than any Eland I've seen though, so I'm not sure.
Super-sharp and great background and dof. People seem to love spirals in photos, and so do I, so I think this will be a top finisher. Humorous too. Great job! [10]
An interesting animal captured with good sharpness and color. The expression is ho-hum and I might have cropped it a bit more off-centered, but the outstanding DOF and bokeh really make this shot (I smell an expensive lens at work). The result is almost three-dimensional, and that will make it stand out from most of the other entries.
A noble image. I would have liked to have seen a bit more neck for the composition, but then the verical dimension would have been prohibitive. I think photographing these guys is problematic because of that. Excellent look and feel in this capture.
Great capture. The tounge says it all. :OP I think the only thing I feel would make this better is if his left ear was turned out like the right one. Great job should be in the top ten.
Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice
