Steenbok. Weather conditions were rather poor that day.
Beginning of the summer and thus the rain season.

Hello Annick, you are a great photographer, this is a superb shot. I don't critique it because there is nothing to critique. You essentially captured the beauty of this animal. Wow.

Hi Annick

Quite simply - superb. You did very well to get so close - even with your 400. It must have taken a lot of patience.

James

Hello Annick,
Mate the quality of your work never ceases to amaze me, what an excellent shot of this Steenbok. Love the tight crop, stunning detail, and I can’t get over the size of those big ears! Just amazing, all the best Cheers Rick :)

Hi Annick
This is one of the best you have posted. Absolutely superb in every respect. How you managed to get that close to such a nervous animal is beyond me. Whenever I see them they dash away before I can get near to taking a decent photo.

Hello Annick
Destite of the weather this is a great steenbok's portrait
It's a young male, the horns are just poping up!
kind regards
Albert

Aaah so this is the Devil deer that Horia was on about!
I can see why he thought so.... those spiky little horns are very devil-like :-)
Look at those ears! They must be amazing at hearing! I love how they're pointing in different directions.
Great eye-contact and a powerful head-on POV.
Sharp, detailed and crisp.
Slightly UE I think but could easily be brightened... I did a workshop to show this... I hope you don't mind!
Very well done Annick,
Joe

Hallo Annick,
Zelfs met slecht donker weer nog zo´n prachtige opname maken zegt iets over jouw kwaliteiten. Nog steeds de perfecte scherpte. Verbluffend hoe de steenbok je aankijkt.
Groet,
Peter

This one has it all Annick..
I like the exposure, detail, & colors I see..
The full face view of this cutie is just perfect. Beats Bambi all to h#ll ;}
