Hahaha! I do not believe I ever saw the Male. Those ears with horns are too much! The lady I took kept coming closer as I spoke to her.
This is great Fred!
I see 4 birds! One is blurry on the tail end. Unless that is a tail.
Nice Capture of this handsome dude looking right at you!
Your lady is on her way to you! ;)
Good luck :)

thanks a lot Sandra for your wonderful comments;
very easy to remember the males: they are very tall, much larger than other antelopes;
in contrast to the zoo kudus, the ones in the wild are either very shy and run away or sometimes quite aggressive, defending their territory;

Comment from nikman
Quite a grand looking animal shot posted here for your competition entry! The classical composition you employed works very well. We get an enjoyable look at your antelope and it's location. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

This is beautiful wild life photography.You have timed it well. The light, and the composition have worked well and you have caught the curious look on the antler's face very well. Good luck!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this male Kudu with a trio of Ox peckers in his back as he watches you closely in your Safari Transport. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from Malmax
This photo is an amazing capture of wildlife with four additional feathered bonuses.
The clarity and color in this kudu is remarkable. It's detail and beautiful structure is also excellent. This male is just beautiful. A magnificent capture, so perfectly titled,
Just a real pleasure to view.
Best of luck in the contest.

Nice sharp photo of this fine specimen of Kudu. Colors are spot on and the tree adds to the perspective. Excellent placement in the scene. Great commentary on the species. Nice work Fred ~ Steve
