Working my way through my zoo shoot. This is a greater kudu, a large antelope found in southern and eastern Africa:

    Fixed (I think). Actually, he was a bit on the blue side, but probably not that much. Thanks for the suggestion. thumb.gif

    It's a fine shot, Richard. :D

    My advice, FWIW, would be to blur or otherwise dismiss the "cell door" behind the horns.

    Thanks, Ric. I thought the jail was dark enough that it wouldn't be noticed, but it ought to be easy enough to fix. I'll look at it again with fresh eyes in the morning. thumb.gif

    Love that Kudu that you do so well.:D Sorry for the pun I couldn't resist. Anyway nice photo.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    Nice one Richard thumb.gif

    Interesting, that folks over there think the kudu shouldn't be blue. Dan Margulis used one of my kudu pics in one of his workshops, and everyone who used the kudu tried to make it a brown antelope. Here is a pic of one in the wild, not a good pic because of the weather, but you can compare it to a brown antelope, in the form of an impala, in the background.

    Thanks, Al. I am way out of my depth on this forum, city rat that I am. Sirsloop's comment sent me Googling, where I found that the color ranges from red-brown to blue-gray.

    BTW, I looked at the rest of your gallery from Kruger Park. Great stuff. Sure wish I could go there instead of the zoo.

    Thanks Richard. Must say I've never see a red-brown kudu in my life. Doing a keyword search on smugmug shows quite a few mis-IDs. Here is one that is some kind of oryx, and this one is a sitatunga.
