Probably my most favourite antelope. I love those ears :)


Comments welcome and thanks for looking

Awesome looking antelope. Wish we had these in the U.S :lol: . I'd like it better without all the bushes around him, but you take what you can get.
Although, if those are thorns on those bushes that's pretty cool too :P .

Cool shot Dave. Kudus have the coolest horns. I just wish we could see them better in this shot. Sweet light and such a regal pose.

What a cool animal. Just wish there was a little more tonal separation between the horns and the background.

Thanks for all the comments.

I agree on the horns, but you only get a couple of seconds to take a shot before they run off so you grab what you can :)

Carol though, has a much better shot... I'm sure she'll post it soon...

Amen to that, the hope is you are there and able to take advantage when the truly great opportunities present themselves.

A very nice Kudu image although I find just a tad to tight for my taste.

I wouldn't say better necessarily, - just different! :wink:

Nice one Dave. Kudu are very difficult to get a good shot of. They see that camera and run for the scrub. :roll:

Good stuff.
