Thirst of a Kudu

[Morkel Erasmus]

I am heading off on some family time at the coast for a week or so. Catch you all on the flipside! :t3

This Greater Kudu cow was photographed in Etosha last year, at the crack of dawn.
As usual with antelopes, she was weary of possible danger approaching...

Techs:
Nikon D3s
Nikkor 500mm f4 VR-II
f4.0 | 1/320 SS | ISO-1000
Pretty much full frame...

A beauty, Morkel! Taken in lovely light, sweet pose, love the water droplets. Nice and sharp where it counts, as always, thoughtful processing and presentation.

Just thought I'd thank you again for being a friend and helping out with my pics whenever you can - I really appreciate it. As well as for giving me an honest crit always.

Hope you have a great time with the family, relax and enjoy, wishing you Happy Easter and a wonderful week-end!

Warmest regards,

No such thing as a peaceful morning out there what with a lot of critters wanting to eat you. Lovely capture Morkel.

Hi Morkel, beautiful light, love the colors. i find the crop a bit tight all around, but I suspect you don't have room? Have a great time with the family! Loi

Hi Morkel,
agree with Rachel naming this an "elegant" image. A good wording for this lovely Etosha shot of this antelope .
Love the colors and contrast , reflecting very well what i have in my mind about this place.The water droplets are a nice touch in the frame.
Good work in the field and in PP .

Have fun on the coast , cheers Andreas
