    Lovely composition Ken, with a nice heads up, raised front hoof and oxpecker jockey enhancing nicely.

    nice pose here Ken, the oxpecker surely adds,
    though light is quite decent, I do wish there was more light hitting the eye (but I bet so do you).

    Lovely image with great detail and colour, agree with Morkel that a little more catch light in the eye adds more life, but we can always have it all

    Hi ken,
    i like the pose of the Kudu, the composition and detail. I agree with Morkel as to the catchlight in the eye, but sometimes the light is not ideal.
    TFS and best wishes,
    Mark.

    Like the stance with the two hooves up in the air and the side view. Might hit the whole image with a touch more contrast for my taste.
