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,

Fabulous image with nice details and killer BG , I liked it very much as presented

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.
repost takes it to top , I just thought color of Cow is like OP
Thank you for viewing & commenting everyone. Agree Peter's version looks better.:)
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.
