We had been watching a couple of Zebra, when three Greater Kudu lined up so nicely for a moment in this tiny strip of shade on a very hot day.  It was the hottest part of the day and the warm light was not great for photography as it gave the brush an intense fire glow, but I had to record this once only shot before they moved away.

What a perfect line up. Glad you didn't give up on the light. Sometimes the subject just overrides even poor light. Nicely seen.

I have no idea how did you manage to do this, to get this amazing shot, love the trios on composition and love the way they are giving you the eye contact. Superb Carol!!!

What a great lineup with such identical poses and so evenly spaced. Having them in the shade was probably a very good thing with the light, they are so nicely and evenly lit and surrounded by the fire glow. Very attractive result.

Great capture of the moment! Nice processing of very tough light! Nice they all cooperated by looking at you. I like the different horn swirl on each of them.
