I captured this pronghorn just as the sun was setting in the Black Hills of South Dakota — the fastest land mammal in North America slowing it down and enjoying the springtime weather. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/1000th of a second.
Great shot! Love that it worked out for him to be in profile, with his eye in perfect focus. It’s also sweet that the tuft of yellow wildflowers are centered, in harmony with his gaze. Lovely!

Nice try Pronghorn, but nothing and no one is faster than me commenting on a Sean Crane nature photo.

This was one of those beautiful late spring afternoons on the tallgrass prairie.
Very nice viewpoint of the pronghorn looking over its landscape.
