A beautiful capture of a beautiful individual Sumon, that unique, single horn reminisces the "Unicorn" of mythological fame, thank you indeed for this fine nature scene my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet
P. s.: Why did you omit the important taxon, subphylum Vertebrata from your classification my friend, I wonder...

This place looks hilly, Sumon.
The Black Buck is held sacred in Rajasthan too because it is called 'Neel Gaya' or blue cow and its association with the sacred cow through its name makes people worship it and not kill it for meat.
This is a good shot of this fellow who seems to have lost one horn in some battle with another male.
Very good capture in which the animal looks quite regal and confident.
Thanks and all the best.

Hello Sumon,
Despite the broken horn this Black Buck looks quite statuesque in this fine capture. He stands out well against the OOF natural BG that looks like a very interesting habitat to visit. Excellent POV and pleasing composition that shows the habitat.
TFS this beauty,
Best wishes,
Ivan

Ciao Sumon,
splendida cattura di questa bellissima antilope, eccellenti POV e composizione ambientata, interessante la documentazione di un maschio con un solo corno, ottima definizione e magnifici e contrastati i colori.

Hi Sumon,

What a beautiful animal this is and what a wonderful shot. With the one horn he reminds me of a Unicorn. The face is so unusual with the brown band separating the eye and mouth areas. The brown and white of the body is wonderful too. He seems to be smiling for the camera. A marvelous setting for this handsome Blackbuck.

Hello Sumon,

Wow! It is not everyday I'm sure that you can photography a Blackbuck with only one horn! I like very much this image and the fact that you present the animal within its environment like this! Excellent exposition and the colors looks very natural. The only thing is that I would have put the antilope more on the left of the picture letting more space on the right...

Great job and TFS my friend :-)

Hello Sumon

I am fascinated by your notes.
This male must have locked horns with a competitor.
A very good capture of this beautiful antelope.
I wish farmers here respected nature as much,over here they exterminate what they fear.
It is sad when they kill animals before the animal even damages their crops.

Hello Sumon,
You are going over to mammals! Interesting unicorned antilope you show us here. It has probably lost his corn in a fight and that makes it look very special. Funny way to look. It was observing the photographer..
Thanks also for the interesting note
Bonne journée

Hi Sumon.
Brilliant image taken with DSLR camera. However, in your hands any camera can create wonders. Superb reproduction of all features of a wonderful animal. Skin tones and texture are reflected fantastically. I like wide DOF and fine remote a bit blurred scene. Once more great job from you. My warm greeting.

I wish we'd be careful with animals like these people, because yes, animals are "sacred" to me too, maybe not for the same reasons but it gets to the same result ;-) This is a beautiful picture, Sumon, very classical yet original with this animal with only one horn! It's grace must be a pleasure to watch! Thank you,

hello Sumon,
interesting capture of this elagant antelope with an alone horn caused I assume from struggles with other male for the predominance on the pack.

Hllo Sumon !
Having been absent from TN, Imissed this beautiful shot - a pity, because it is precious, not only for the picture, but also for what you write in your note. It's so rare to hear stories about humans and animals living together without the humans killing the animals... Excellent details on your picture, nica natural colors, wonderful composition and POV, and of course, the fact that the blackbuck is missing a horn makes it look unusual. Very well done !
