Hello Annick,
Excellent capture of this beautiful Steenbok resting in the grass. I like the way it is facing you and details are very sharp and the colour of its coat beautiful.

Hi Annick,

You are very lucky one who gets to shoot these wild animals. I have to contain with butterflies, insects and dragon flies :(
Very well captured shot.I liked his head position so much. Look at his horns, nose and ears. Aahhhhh. Very goo.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hello Annick,
Another great Antelope portrait! You made a fine capture of this Stenbock the frontal POV of the head giving it a fine expression. Stands out well (even though it is lying down!) against the OOF natural BG.
Thanks,
Ivan

Hi Annick,

Wonderful capture of this animal that is new to me. I love the way he is looking at you - almost smiling. Beautiful natural colors and sharp details. Those ears and straight up antlers are really neat.

Hallo Annick,
Hoe kon je zo dicht naderen! (400 mm lens) Over het algemeen zijn ze erg schuw. Prachtige opname weer met perfecte scherpte en laag standpunt.
Groet,
Peter

Hi Annick,
Excelent portrait of this small antilope, with fine details and sweet pose.
The antilopes were also in Kenya were they are called dik-dik. If I#m not wrong, this is even the smallest antilope at all. Their small horns were sold as souvenier, can you imagine!
Thanks for remembering me my childhood, I knew al the names of the antilopes, like the ones you showed. The impala, generuk, waterbuck, thomson gazelle, gnou...
Well done and TFS

The face of this Steinbok looks quite funny and interesting, Annick.
There is a perfect symmetry in the alignment of ears and horns here.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Annick

I remember well your first photo of a Steenbok and i remember thinking the exact same thing as now: although this animal is cute and even delicate, i still think he looks like a little devil with those pointy horns and that patch on its nose :) (devil not in a bad way...more like the cartoon way...you know that red one sitting on one of your shoulders...the other one, not the little angel :))
Then again, this is a wonderful shot - with an excellent eye-contact and a very good use of the shallow DOF that your splendid lens offers.
Well exposed and composed, too.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Hallo Annick
A well presented, well focused and very sharp image of this steenbok. This animal looks so relaxed and does not seem to be bothered by anything at all. I just love the big ears, the big eyes with its whiskers clearly visible. It has got such a lovely nose. Details are sharp with nothing out of place. I like the way the steenbok is facing you. Thanks for sharing. It was lovely to look at.
Kind regards
Anna

Hello Annick
Excellent and sharp (as usual)photo of this cute deer, they are quite nervous and it is not common to see them lying on the ground!
Kind regards

Hello Annick,
A fine pose from this attentive animal!
Super details and DOF carefully selected to cover what is imposrtant...
I notice the impressive ears, so I will guess this fellow has a hearing that is better than most!
Greetings,

Bonjour Annick
Encore une fois, votre galerie est une superbe porte vers la nature : mon fils, deux ans, découvre avec moi et avec plaisir, cette photo. Je vous livre son commentaire en direct : "pas mal, celle là" ! c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire. La profondeur de champ choisie donne une superbe netteté autour de l'animal, et un joli flou partout ailleurs.
Bonne journée et merci.
Antoine.
