Majestic Procession

[Ken Watkins]

Four magnificent male Kudu, approach Manga waterhole, Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe, 9th September 2011.

Please note the strange horn shape on rearmost male, DOF is deliberate as any chance of getting all animals in focus highly improbable

Overall nice image, although I would prefer to have more room on the bottom of the frame.

Hi Ken,
I like the composition of the Kudu.
There is good detail and under the circumstance you did well with the harsh light.
I agree with Andy that a little bit more room at the bottom would be nice, but you had a good POV.
Well done and TFS.

Ken, I love this composition. The DOF is fine with me. I agree, a bit tight on the bottom, still, I like this image alot.

[Ken Watkins]

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated, I agree on the space at the bottom.

I like the DOF you achieved here very much, Ken! Nice procession and the horns of the rearmost one do look funny.
Light was a tad harsh but I think it came out well in any case. I agree with Andy on wanting a tad more room at the bottom (and a bit less on top)...:Whoa!:

Great DOF and I like the position of the subjects. Maybe just a little more room on the bottom.
