Went to check my local pronghorn hotspot to see if any rutting action was taking place yet. Still to early but managed a few decent images. Back light is very nice for the 1st half hour or so after sunrise or before sunset. It's not to contrasty to work with at that time.

I love the depth and 3D quality that the backlight is giving you here. I also like the bush in the lower right corner as a compositional element, balancing the pronghorn effectively. Glad you didn't cut it off.

Beautiful pronghorn image. The backlighting does make this pop.

Great composition making use of the available elements for a nice balance, and the lovely backlight makes this one special
