Wowsers! I love how my eye (mind) had three discrete levels in understanding and seeing this.
(1) I didn't immediately get the first Kudu; but then I did; and then I liked the ear and how the branch shape was congruent with it.
(2) Then I was surprised to see the second Kudu just below and to the right of that ear.
(3) And just when I thought I was done, my mind found the eye, then ear, then head of the third Kudo.

(4) And it was then I knew that perhaps some post processing was going on :smile: :wink: but what a nice trip !!

It would have been easier to clone out the kudus! :jump:
