I posted a photo of this Bontebok a few months ago. Here is another image from the session, Taken at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, South Africa.

The inclusion of the sun disk really adds to the composition. Great colors, and nice separation of the horns on the animal to give a pleasing silhouette.

Wonderful silhouette, it certainly conveys the feeling of being there. I feel like I need to squint looking into the sun

Lovely glowing silhouette Nate, and while I would like to see more of the lower body and legs outlined against that sky, what you have here is undoubtedly a stunning image!

I like the back-lite glow on the silhouette.

Spectacular image Nate. A minor nit from me is that I wish there was a little more room for the sun at the top of the frame. Its really a beautiful image though. Well done.
