As you say, very elegant and neat, even as a photo. Detail, colour, exposure, pose etc ... everything is good here. Well done.

Gerhard, dis a "stunning" foto. In English it is definately also called a Steenbok. Your colour and sharpness is impressive as well as the focus depth, which all contributes to turning what could so easily have been just another "snapshot" into a photographic masterpiece. Good one.

Well dressed, with 'maskara' on her eyes. Your title fit perfecly. Beautifull legs.
Excellent compo, sharpness, PoV and DoF.

Fantastic shot, I like your photo very much. And also I like this animal. When I was in Malawi (deep bush) I feeded very young antelopes abandonned by their mothers, it was a very interesting exercice.
Well done.

Simply a superb image Gerhard, the detail and lighting are spot on here, and the note is very good, I presume they have discovered covering there Dung renders them less liable to be come a mouthfull for a lion etc.

Now this IS a VERY nice POV of this gorgeous little buck!
I like the ears and the way he is pulling his mouth - skewebek - at you.
But as a nit, no space for the front feet, as we have dicussed in previous posts.

Excellent capture Gerhard. Subject is super sharp with lots of details on a perfect oof background. I am surprised by the size of this animal. Looking at the picture one can imagine the size of a deer.
Great post and note.

Wat kan ik er meer van zeggen, alles is gezegd. Ik was zelf aan het rondrijden met de auto met mijn vrouw in de Biesbosch, toen er plotseling uit de bruine klei 6 mannetjes deers precies voor de auto langs sprongen. Zo over de weg slechts 2 meter voor de auto. It was going so fast that I forgat to get my camera. But really I enjoy that moment that the deers come out the farmers country and crossing the road, great moment, just like this shot.

Awesome potrait. Its very hard to come up with animal potrait, usually the interesting one is the action one. But somehow this one is absolutely gorgeous. Well done!

This is a great shot.
Pose is excellent, magnificient DOF, beautiful softlighting and color balance very natural. No negative critic on this one. Question: 400mm ? Is it real optical value or 35mm equivalent value? I guess it the real value, wich mean an equivalent value of 600mm. TFS
