Those antlers are incredible. I’ve never seen such an animal before. So cool. I think keeping a wider view helps with showing the environment.

What an amazing animal, Jappv. I too have never seen a Kudu, so thanks for sharing with us. Great to see him set in his environment also.

Gorgeous animal and gorgeous image! The lighting really highlights those impressive horns! Super nice!

Great subject and you are getting some nice diffused BG, which is not easy with a long zoom.

A very beautiful animal in a beautiful setting. I’ve seen them in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
You found one with very impressive antlers. The light on the animal is very nice. @JRajput comments already about the BG; I think a bit of extra blurring would make the image even better. Probably a tedious job, because it is not so easy to leave the animal out of the selection.

Thank you for the kind words 
Actually selecting the animal is a five-second job in Photoshop 2023 using the Object Selection Tool (Cloud based). I did so to run Topaz Sharpen AI over the Kudu on a Layer and deliberately did not sharpen or blur the background. I rather dislike the effect of such manipulations on “natural” bokeh.
