Andreas - another nice portrait in what looks like much nicer light. I like the tone of this and the mouth full of grass.

Anfreas,

Great image with good detail and both eyes (well almost}.
I actually like Gnu's, but then I find virtually no creatures of the African plains can be described as ugly.
In my view the ugliest beast in Etosha and elsewhere are the noisy tourists driving too fast disturbing the animals and kicking up loads of dust, some subspecies also never stop talking very loudly:w3

Very nice, Andreas! I like the tight crop and especially the duo-tone effect. Looks great - quite pretty really!

Another cracker of a Wildebeest image. Great colors and light. Clean BG and good detail. I would like to see a touch more contrast but tarts personal.

Excellent image on all counts

Nice portrait in great light, Andreas.
I too would prefer more contrast. And I like photographing Wildebeest :bg3:.
Let's see what Dumay comes up with...
