A little too central for me Ken, plus the face looking behind me does really draw my attention. The light is good, but would have dropped the ISO as you had plenty of SS and might have helped with the definition & detail. Might suggest again another round of USM on the head & body only. Anything you can do on the bottom lh corner as my eye keeps getting drawn there?
TFS ;)

Lovely pose and light is fine here Ken , off center compo will work IMHO

Hi Ken, I liked the lovely light, the alert ear position, and the glint in the eye. Also liked that the background line was level with the kudus back. I agree with Steve about the lh front corner being a little distracting.

Like the light and pose. Great shot of those huge ears on male and female Kudu.
After that I noticed another animal, in front, in grass?
Of course would like bigger horns :) These could go another one and half twists could they not?

Ken,
Nice light. A narrow aperture like f9 would have been great here. I don't mind the composition, since the head is in offcentre position. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Nice light and I like the pose. I'd certainly be most happy with this image. :)
not often you see them this out in the open in this kind of light so I'm with you on this one Ken! pose maybe not IDEAL but still nice enough to be a great keeper in my books.

Thanks very much:)
