Morkel,
I am in full support of more ordinary animals, both here and everywhere else. There is far too much emphasis on predators, although I would never complain about more Cheetah and Leopard.
This is great and shows a very "normal" but beautiful scene to full potential, she looks a little pregnant?

Time to break the cycle of predators being posted??
It may give the advantage for IOTW, who knows.
As an image Morkel it doesn't really grab me, which is very unusual, but it is more an environment/habitat based image I guess. Is it the slight heat haze that gives the BKG that 'painted' look & feel? Wonder about adding some black in the Reds, dropping the Yellow in the yellow channel, WDYT?

IMHO getting better pics of predators is far difficult than getting good pics of ORDINARY animals ,

Definite distinct 3D and great colors (Look spot on to me). I like the feel of the low angle and comp.

Morkel, I absolutely love this, must be my love of landscapes which makes this so appealing. I like the softly diagonal lines through the green background and the placement and pose of the kudu.

Morkel - I too like the wide look here and agree with Dumay that it has a 3D feel to it.

Nice animalscape Morkel. I like the painting like quality of the hazy BG and how the color of the Kudu matches the sand and rises up to break into the green BG.

Hi Morkel,
I like the image for its simplicity and the fact that you are able to see the animal in it's environment. The positioning of the kudu is perfect and leads to a very tranquil image.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes,
Mark.

Thanks for the kind feedback, everyone...
Steve - might be heat haze, although this was about 30 minutes after sunrise and it wasn't particularly hot...
Will play around with those channels, haven't had time to revisit this one yet!
