Rebel xti, 600 f4 + 1.4 conv., ISO 400, f6.3, 1/500. Image made in the Sabi Sand game reserve from a game viewing vehicle.

Eye contact at its best Stephen. Stunning light, sharp, and love the overall colours in this. What a killer BG, and the two oxpeckers add to the image, although I would have liked to have seen them away from the edge of the frame.

Lovely light, sharpness, detail and bg seperation.

[Fabs Forns]

That is one good looking animal. The eye contact, sharpness of the eye and aler ears make it interesting, without even going into the little guests on his back :) Wish you had moved the camera to your right to get more of them.
Big time winner in my book ;)

[Steve Canuel]

Nice look from the cow, great detail and color, and a real nice BG.

great shot Stephen! agree about including a bit more of the kudu to the right to take the oxpeckers away from the edge. super sharp and great eye contact!

[Mark Dumbleton]

Like it Stephen. Lovely OOF BG, and light falling on the kudu.

[Arthur Morris]

Superb sharpness, light, animal, and BKGR. Fabs nailed things with the point the lens a bit more to the right left after focusing comment.

[Stephen Earle]

Thx everyone for your valued comments and suggestions.

Stephen,
Nice background, colours, sharpness. The Oxpeckers is a nice touch. I would have loved to see less space at the left and more at the right.

Cheers,
