Pretty Lady

Gallery: WildlifePosted June 29, 201494 views8 comments

I found this Pronghorn doe in the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone. I have always thought the Pronghorn's coloration is among the most beautiful in the animal world. I think this image really shows that. Yeah, the bucks are more impressive, but the ladies are pretty also. Processed using Photoshop CS3, NeatImage and LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

I have to agree Jerry. They're a very beautiful animal. I've never gotten close enough to these speedsters to get a nice shot like this one, very nice indeed.

Nice portrait. I really like the eyes and the open mouth, they make the image for me.

Great detail in here Jerry,
although i've never seen this species but i can broadly imagine why you think their coloration is beautiful

Love the colors & markings seen so well this close, excellent details Jerry.
I especially like the parted mouth & those beautiful eyes, 'Pretty Lady' without a doubt!

Jerry,
I have only ever seen these animals via posts in forums, I can only totally agree on the comments regarding colouration, truly beautiful
