Fine portrait of a kudu in it's prime. I like the color of his skin and how the green tends to frame him. Great looking animal. Thanks for sharing.

The kudu looks perfectly exposed and well posed. The brighter, jittery background is a bit of distraction, imo.

John & Lon,
Thanks for your comments, mich appreciated. I agree that the background is none too good, tried to reduce it but could find nothing suitable?

I like your choice of a vertical crop. The animal stands proud and is well exposed. Background looks very natural to me - I prefer this to plain backgrounds. Graham
