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!

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
