Uganda Kob

As the name suggests an antelope mostly found in Uganda, it is close relative of the White Eared Kob famous for their South Sudan migration.

Another great animal study Ken, and I love the BG. Just my sort.
You certainly have some variety over there.! I would be hard up to see 7 different animals in the forest where I live- and thats including mice !!

Hi Ken,

The greens have a slight blue cast to them due to the "dull day" lighting. The kob's color looks OK. I like the comp and thank you for sharing this one............................jim

Nice view of the kob Ken. The BG seems to be a touch bluish, no doubt due to the Overcast conditions. Nice overall composition.

Great pose and I love the bg Ken, with this pose I would prefer a little more room on the left and perhaps a bit less on the right. devil

The dull day really lets the warm colors of the Kob stand out. They contrast very well with the greens in the background.
