Nice shot Nancy of one of my favorite animals. Sharpness looks OK, color is nice, but I think there is a bit of a magenta cast to the image. I like the position you caught this guy in. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice pose in a natural enbironment, Good look at the bright eye.
The whites look a little hot - what processing software do you use? Should be easy to pull them down a little and reclaim the texture.
A levels adjustment would correct the magenta cast that i also see.
Nice image!

Th focus of this image is sharp and right where it should be on the eye of the buck. You also captured a nice catch light in his eye.I think other good suggestions have already been given.

Hi Nancy,
I like the positioning of the pronghorn in the frame and you did manage to get a good catchlight there. While I see a slight magenta cast on my laptop, on my other devices it is pretty insignificant to invisible. I do find slightly distracted with the band of out-of-focus vegetation along the bottom of the frame, I know you could not have stopped down enough to render it more sharply.
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Nice shot. Pronghorns are one animal that look more interesting view from astern like this. Great catch light and sharp focus on the eye. Not currently on a calibrated monitor so no comment on the previously mentioned color cast. Nicely done.

He is a fine looking individual. My wish would have been for him to angle toward the camera rather than away.

Beautiful! Is this in Arizona by any chance? I like the environment you caught him in!
