1/200 sec f/8 ISO 100 145mm
I was hoping that Pronghorn would move to the left, it turned and went towards the mountain. I had to settle for the Pronghorn to be in the middle.

Yeah, if only animals would listen to us! The position of the pronghorn is still nice I think, even if it isn't what you wanted. My preference would actually be to the right in stead of the left btw.

Your subject is "Grand Teton". The Pronghorn only serves as a scale reference, making the peaks truly awesome. Good work!

Great light here, and I agree on the pronghorn being both a) primarily for scale and b) better if moved to the right. Depending on how you feel about photo manipulation, it would not be difficult to using the spot removal/cloning tool to move the antelope digitally. The foreground is just uniform enough that with some edge feathering, it would look like it had always been thus.

Thanks for the suggestion. That never crossed my mind.

I like it, Holger. Now the pronghorn a d the viewer are sharing a view of the mountain. At this soze, I cannot see any edge issues with the clone job, but it's worth magnifying to 1:1 to check in case you print it.

Great light and composition. The Pronghorn is just a little extra for a sence of place and scale. I don't think the positioning of the animal with strongly affect the power of this image. We always want everything perfict, but after all we are nature photographers. This looks like it was shot at Lupine Meadows. If so I was there this spring and shot a similar image with flowers in the foreground. While I was shooting some elk started moving right towards me and just about the time they were getting big enough to make a difference in the image they turned and moved away. I tried to persuade then to come a little closer, but they would not listen.

Great timing, right place at the right time. While a little too dead center, a beauty anyway. A slight crop off the right would give the illusion of the Pronghorn moving into the scene. I might suggest a little added contrast to the tree area as well.

I prefer the original image. If you cropped a tad from the right, to put the antelope just a bit off center, I think it would work even better. The color and contrast look just fine to me.

I agree with Preston in regard to the original. Great environmental shot of the Pronghorn with some outstanding clouds making this an impressive image. Good job.
