    The Kudu has a keen sense of hearing and those ears are more sensitive than radar screens.;):)

    Hi Gerrie, Im a sucker for these type of portraits. Love the angle of the head, good sharp detail throughout, and against a killer BG. I would maybe try and lighten the eye a tad, and take a little off the left and add a little to the right. Doesnt distract from a fine image.

    The background is nicely diffused. I like those big ears and the eye contact. I agree with Stewart regarding a slight less space at the left and more at the right. Overall, a fine image.

    Cheers,

    Beautiful animal. Love the markings on the face. Excellent BG too. The ridges inside the ears are pretty interesting. Probably contributes to their sensitve hearing?

    Gerrie - nice portrait of a beautiful antelope. I like Peter's repost as I also noticed the cast. Agree with Stu's crop suggestion.

    What an elegant and alert lady! I agree about the color cast. I went at it by setting white point on the white hair below the nose. Also toned down
    the background a little and put a touch more life in that big, watchful eye.
