    Spotted this one on the plains surrounding Kennedy 2 waterhole, Hwange NP, Zimbabwe, 2nd September, 2011. Unfortunate position of horizon, but not too much I could do about it.

    500mm F4 IS hand-held

    F6.3, ISO 800, 1/800

    Probably the best Kudu image I have seen...Not a easy subject. Great light and shooting angle!

    Lovely golden light and great IQ Ken. BG horizon does'nt detract IMHO as the Kudu stands out nicely. You seem to have had some nice light in your recent posts,

    Pieter,

    Ken is referring to the horizon line intersecting the horns in a similar horizontal position.

    Ken,

    If you were trying to get the horns and horizon to line up like that you never could, but get everything else working right and that happens.

    All around a great capture. I agree with the others.

    For that time of day, the lighting is surprisingly golden and delicious!
