Thanks for everyone's input on Pronghorn at Sunset. I did not do a repost of that one as I never was able to eliminate the road that bothered everyone in a way that satisfied me...but here is a different view of some antelope from the same herd with an unmarred hill in the background!

Lovely shot in beautiful light. Nice background and the different pose of the animal on the left works well here.

Thanks for posting this very nice image. I like the colors and the position of the 3 pronghorns. The light you caught these 3 in is great. What was your ISO setting? Just wondering.

Another very pleasing pronghorn image here Eirini. I appreciate the low angle, the good BG separation, the nice soft colors. On top of that 3 is a magical number as this image proves again.

Beautiful image here, Eirini! Love the oof grasses in the foreground and the oof bg as well. Usually, when animals are looking in different directions, it doesn't make for a very appealing image, but it isn't so here. It just shows how, keeping an eye out in all directions, is safer for the herd as a whole. Could you try to post a larger photo as well, and do include technical details, please?

Beautiful photo Eirini, the light and setting are wonderful. I might suggest a slightly looser composition if you have the room.

Hi Eirini,

Very nice light and colour. I do like the overall "soft" feeling you have created here (and that background is very pleasing). On the compositional end I do agree with Gary and find it a bit tight overall, especially on the right side. I'm a bit torn on having the two subjects looking one way and the third looking another - I suppose it could be argued it adds some good tension to the shot, but the counterargument to that would be that it is a bit discordant. I'm officially sitting on the fence on that!
