[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here an upload of a male kudu, they are so gracious and curious.
It gives you a little shock, that when you are driving the car, then suddenly you see this greater Kudu between the bushes.

Hi Vivian
Impressive!!! I would be so excited to see a Kudu in the bush. You've captured this gorgeous guy well. A wonderful portrait. A few notes on how and where the Kudu live would be helpful.

Hi Viv

AN excellent shot - great POV and nice detail. I have seen many kudu but rarely get such a clean shot as this.

Hello Viv,
Wow, those ears looked almost like two big eyes in the thumbnail! I was wondering what monster it was! :-) It turned out to be a stunning beauty instead very much due to the way you've captured this Kudu! Excellent work showing great eye contact, sharp details and wonderful colours. A lovely lush background too! Well done!
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hi Vivian.
Simply extraordinary by quality and subject picture. Great 3D-image, fantastic clean and fine colours, crisp sharpness of the photographed hero (it is amazing) and perfect reproduction of a rich scenery. Bravo. Excellent job and my compliments.
