Haven't had anything to post in a while. Recently had a business trip to South Africa and managed to get to Pilanesberg NP on our free day. Shot this Kudu browsing near the road. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Thanks!

Kudu are such lovely animals, I like the expression on the face of this one. She does has her eye on you. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Joe,

Another image where the larger version shows so much better than the standard version. When I looked at the standard shot I was thinking "good behavioural shot" but when I opened the larger version that eye "refusing" to give up on watching you caught my eye instantly. Love the look!

Cheers...thanks for sharing...

I, too, was taken by the fact that even while apparently casually feeding, this kudu was looking directly at you!
