I don't think I have ever seen one of these before. Very sharp and nice detail and color. The vegetation makes it a little busy, but that is the environment. Nice shot.

Ken: a very nice shot of this rare animal. In my minds eye, I have always pictured Ethiopia as a scrub desert. Your shots are showing me otherwise. Thanks for posting this. Richard

Hi Ken,

Very nice soft settting that fits this very cute antelope. The bush in front is a little ditracting but not much.

Hisham.

I could wish for a cleaner setting...but this is a great looking little subject. Thanks for sharing these seldom seen species.

Thanks everybody, I agree the background is far from perfect.
