Colors, sharpness and details look good. But, I feel this would be better as a vertical image instead of a horizontal. Kudu are very stately antelope IMHO. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful Kudu close up photo. Smart tight crop (close-up) choice to accentuate the Kudu with splendid sharpness, nice colors, excellent light and very good POV choice. Nice eyes. Excellent result, well done Ronald.

This works well for me although I wonder how it would be if you could isolate it from its typically brushy background. I really like the excellent detail and the direct in-your-face, stare down kind of feeling.

Yep, those are quite the audio sensors! Tricky and contrasty lighting and a pretty challenging background to manage made this a tough shot to pull off, but those ears certainly help save the day.

Cheers...
