Image Description
Typically when I see pronghorn they are hundreds of yards away in an open field. On this particular day in Yellowstone, however, there happened to be a buck and doe pronghorn very close to the road and conveniently near a pull-off. I slowly pulled off the road, grabbed my lap camera and sat on a small boulder trying to look nonthreatening. I was between about 25 and 50 yards from both animals and they seemed to barely notice me.
Feedback Requests
Any critiques of this image would be most welcome. I would especially like to hear feedback on the black and white processing. The biggest modification I made was to darken the background.
