Pronghorn Portrait
by Jim Zablotny
I just returned from the Black Hills and Badlands regions of South Dakota. Lighting was never ideal, but was able to snag a few reasonable shots. This male pronghorn was photographed from our car at Custer State Park. He was very close and I leaned back to get all of him in the frame. K5 IIs, 300 mm f4 (1/30 sec at f9.0, Iso 640). Topaz In Focus to remove slight motion blur, Topaz Detail, Levels.................................Jim

8 commentsThe orientation seems a little odd, although I know the image is straight.
If mine, I might experiment with straightening the antlers and seeing if the body looks too out of kilter.
Nontheless, sweet image!

Wonderful shot of my favourite never seen antelope
