Blackbuck is truly Indian antelope. Nice to see them in their natural habitat. It appears that horns are more divergent. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Nice environmental composition. The poses show their alert nature. As one feeds, the other two keep a look out. Was 1/5000 shutter speed used as you were hand holding? Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the like, @ Mrudul yes 1/5000s coz i was handholding it

Any vignetting done? Atleast the top left and right corners appear dark.

Handholding for stationary subjects, doesn't need such higher shutter speeds. Correct handholding technique helps. You can also get a monopod and/or beanbag. That should help you in getting sharp shots at lower shutter speeds. Also, that will help you in getting higher depth of field shots ie using narrow apertures like f8 and above.

PS: I can count the number of times I have photographed using shutter speeds above 1/4000 in my entire life.
