Eye of the Gnu

[Ken Watkins]

In the past many people have pointed out how difficult it is to get good eye contact on this animal. This one was kind enough to stand quite close and still in Khama Rhino Sanctuary, Botswana, 5th January 2012.

I think the eyelashes may answer the question?

Interesting point Ken. Nice detail and I agree with Marc, the grass adds to the image.

Whilst I do not think they are beautiful, they are not that bad:bg3:
