[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another hard subject photography in Iran are Gazella species include Gazella bennetii and Gazella subgutturosa also one of other Gazella that distributed just in Faroor island in Persian gulf but my shot is Female of Persian gazelle in Shirahmad protected area in Ne of Iran.
The Persian gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) is a gazelle found in a large area of central Asia, including part of Iran and southern west Pakistan in the western end of the range, as well as the Gobi desert. The specific name means "full below the throat" and refers to the male having an enlargement of the neck and throat during the mating season. This is not a true goiter, which is caused by the enlargement of the thyroid gland.

The Goitered gazelle inhabits sands and gravel plains and limestone plateau. It runs at high speed, without the leaping, bounding gait seen in other gazelle species. Throughout much of their range, Goitered gazelles undergo seasonal migrations. Herds cover 10–30 km per day in the winter, with these distances being reduced to about 1–3 km in summer.

Hello Seyed,
Great shot, very good POV and pose. Very well done .TFS..

Good work,
You have nice eye contact with the gazelle and have composed it well in a short space of time. Detail is good as is the out of focus background.
Well done

Hi
You take great shots of really unusual creatures. This is a lovely shot. You have isolated the subject from the background nicely. I saw this species in the Gobi, but only at a distance. TFS. James
