Another shot from the Okavango Delta. She was grazing on some bushes and popped her head up to check for danger. Originally captured in landscape but cropped to portrait, essentially full frame vertically. Midtone contrast selectively raised on Kudu. I do think kudu are rather beautiful antelope. Thanks for looking and any comments you may have.

Technical: Canon 80D with Lens EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM at 400mm handheld. Manual exposure 1/400, f7.1, ISO 800. Processed in Canon DPP 4 (digital lens optimiser @ 50, Sharpness = 3, crop, lighting adjustments, default NR) then exported 16 bit TIFF to Photoshop Elements with Neat Image NR plugin where very modest NR applied globally along with some sharpening. Sharpened (sharpness, radius = 0.4 pixels, 50%) after final size reduction.
