Hi Annick. the animal is so relaxed with you I know you had a 400 len but it must have seeen you. You have captured fine detail in its coat. with natural looking colours. It has an impressive set of horns. well done TFS.

Hi Annick this is an awesome shot of this Greater Kudu. The shot you present is very interesting, with him feeding like this. You have him positioned perfectly in this crop. Colour and detail are both excellent, and the way he's positioned, it almost looks like he is looking out at us. Very effective pose.

Thanks, John

Hi Annick,

Hello Annick,
What a curly horn it has. The view of this lovely little fella suggest it is expecting some one or in deep thinking. Wonderful composition. Ganesh
