Hey Ken, I just love the diminutive antelope, in all their many flavors. Very nice capture of this pretty faced Oribi, and with sweet light to highlight the vibrant orange coloration. Also, great job attaining the low perspective, a simple but crucial element that requires some thought to achieve from a vehicle.

Jim,

Thanks very much

I agree with you I just love all antelope ( It is not all about the Big 5), in fact I have an obsession with them, next on my list is a Gerenuk, I have booked for Northern Kenya already

I feel you did a decent job presenting him cleanly within the many potentially distracting stems of grass and brush. Nice low angle light.
