This was taken over 5 years ago in Khama Rhino Sanctuary, Botswana

I like it. Good choice to compose and crop on just the head and its meal.

I like the slightly back head tile, the good eye detail, crisp focus and appealing lighting.

Cute face, but probably wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of those spikes. The tight crop is a bit quirky but suits the subject well; I agree with Max that including the spiky meal is a good choice. The light is just a bit contrasty, some of the shadows make it difficult to appreciate the details.

Really nice image Ken. I agree with you on these diminutive antelope....they're a privilege to see, observe, and photograph.
