Ohh boy. This is beautiful. Well done John.

O wow! This is a fantastic wildlife image and congratulations with your award. Initially, I thought increasing the exposure might make it pop, but the dark, subtle mood and colours work beautifully. Just a suggestion—try cropping a bit from the left edge to improve the balance.

Stunning image John! I personally really enjoy the crop with the negative space to the left in your frame. It creates space for the Kudu to look into. The background adds drama and the lowlight impact. Although this image deserves its award, I would selectively add a little warmth to the Kudu itself, that will pop the Kudu from the similar colour…Read More

Wow beautiful shot John. Love the natural framing. Well done.

You just keep nailing the shots. Love this so much!

Wow John, Love the composition, immaculate detail on the Vulture, nothing blown out, just perfect. The fact that you underexposed adds so much drama as well as impact. The background is perfect and the tree frames the Vulture perfectly. Well done!

I just love this shot. WINING SHOT, But I see what you meant with the previous crop John. Well done.

Beautiful animal portrait John! I love the way the Kudu blends in with the background. Your image is sharp and you’ve handled the exposure well. Thank you for sharing.

Hi John, this is a beautiful capture of the kudu, but I don’t think the picture needs all the Photoshop effects. It feels too digital and not refined. I believe your subject deserves better—just my honest opinion, and I hope you take it in good spirit.

Thank you for posting John, you captured wonderful action here. Good light in the eye, well exposed, and very sharp. I’m not sure if you croped this image like that however, if not, just a tip, always better not to zoom in so much to allow for more drama in your composition. It would have given your image the impact thats lacking here. Have a look…Read More

Lovely composition John👌 nice and clean background and I love the warm colours. The Lurie is nice and sharp👌

Such a great shot! Love the crest that you captured so beautifully, and also can’t stop looking at the weird tongue!

Glorious light! Well done with your feature John!

Another great shot! I love the light, and also the intense expression of concentration.

Stunning Image John. You should do this more often; it makes for good photography. Love to see more.
