Title: ‘Night Closing In’
5DMk4, Tamron 150-600mm at 200mm, 1/1250 sec at F4.0 ISO 400, hand held. Image was shot at midday under heavily overcast skies resulting in a very flat image out of camera. I decided to go with a low key edit and cooled the white balance to give a feeling of pending nightfall and increase the drama of the image.
Shot in the Umbabat. Post process in Lightroom and Photoshop.

  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 of the background. Congratulation!!
