PS the animal in the left background may look like a Rhino, but it must be a Zrbra.

Wonderful lighting and a great pose you caught here Ken. I would crop it differently as for my tastes both of the oof antelope are too close to the edge of the frame. If it was mine I would take some off the right and add some to the left if you have more space there. Thanks for sharing, this is a new one for me. devil

Really nice image. Great look at this guy's eye and I like teh head turn. I agree with Nate's crop suggestion. Well done.

The low angle of light definitely moves this up a notch. Cool/intriguing looking animal.
