    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.

    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 ;)

    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!

    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,
    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,
