Description
The Swaziland saga continues...
The reserve where this image was taken, Mlildane, is fairly small and hosts mainly antelope and warthogs... I took this image of a Hartebeest antelope around 2:30 pm which, as all wildlife photographers would know, is not a good time. Because of the heat, the animals mainly gather under shady trees, which makes a decent image fairly difficult. I shot him with my 170-500mm lens and just loved the way he was standing between the two trees watching me...
Thank you for popping in and for your very valued and appreciated comments and favs on my upload of last night.
Take care
Hugs, Carin xx

Beautifully framed Carin! I haven't had a chance yet to use my lens.
I love how he's framed, both by the trees and you extra added work--wonderul shot!!
Wonderful capture.
Hi Carin, Beautiful wildlife capture...isn't a big zoom lens great! This time I'm going to side with David (Fred255) ref the frame. He made the same remark to me several weeks ago. The more I thought about it, the more I decided my frames were getting as much or more attention than my photo images. I reduced their size and am happy I did with "the less is more result" :-). Bill
Beautiful and interesting shot! Not sure about the frame color.
A very nice pic, I like it. :)
What a wonderful capture! 5++ :)
Very nice shot! Well done.
Beautiful animal, the look is great, colours and lighting
great to see them and be able to photograph them too
Ok, so when do classes start?? You are a master my friend!! Well done - its 'n winner pic!!
Wow. I am amazed by your masterpiece. 5+.
A virtual silhouetting effect in this wonderful composition, Carin! Getting stuck on and/or by those horns would be a dilemna.
must be awesome to see one of these in it's own habitat. they have in the zoo here but not the same thing.
Great photo. Right place and right time. If you have the software you could try to lighten the antelope up a bit, to bring out the detail.
Great subject wonderfully composed. I love it!
That's beautiful!
