Custer State Park, early August.
I was driving the wildlife loop in Custer Park early morning and noticed this group of 6 pronghorns relaxing in the field. Most cars did not notice them and kept driving.
I cropped the top to eliminate the horizon (top of hill).

Thanks for looking

Bill!
This is really a great photo! It really shows the Antelope in their native habitat! I may have cropped the bottom third of the image.

Nice one, Bill. I like the distant view of the pronghorns, relaxed in their habitat.

Nice enviro shot, Bill. I like seeing all of their horns! It's amazing what people will drive right by. I see whitetail deer here on a daily basis and yet most people in the area are astounded when I point them out!

I thought of that crop also and may do it yet, Thanks for the comment.

Bill -- Very interesting shot. I like the animals spread through the lines of different color foliage. I think a crop of just about the top half of the frame might make a strong image.

Nice evirinmental shot, but I would have liked to see the pronghorns just a little bit bigger in the frame.

I like the concept here, more DOF and about 2/3 stop less exposure would really improve this in my opinion.

Nice environmental shot. I think it would be stronger as a pano (crop the bottom 1/2) and increase the exposure about 1/2 stop.
