Coming in from rolling ranchland near the town of Marfa, Texas, I spotted these two grazing Antelope. They mix in quite comfortably with local cattle, but this pair were on their own, and after checking on me, they turned their backsides and resumed grazing. Naturally, I shot them, bending some compositional requirements in the process. Also learned that Marfa was where the movie "Giant" (with James Dean) was filmed.

The antelope seemed unconcerned by your presence. I like the title you gave the image ... great detail throughout as well. Superbly captured, Doug.

I recognize this photo, Doug. This was the fold out in the latest issue of Antelope Nudist Colony Magazine.

Cute and worth the laugh factor alone for posting. Nicely done.

A nicely captured image, and something I have not seen out in the wild since driving through Wyoming some years back.

the clarity of the white definitely captures my eye, i like white, glad they kept themselves clean for your shot, but what i appreciate is the green algae like color in the grass throughout the picture

Your bending compositional requirements in this instance is just a matter of cheekiness in the face of cheekiness. Well, okay, not 'the face of', but you know what I mean.

I think I saw those two at Custer State Park, I think they moon everyone, or so it seems. Funny photo, and a good one Doug.
