Oh what a great humorous picture. Those horns are so impressive with every bump showing clearly.

It's called a kudu. :-)

Lovely photo...

Congrats Cory. Looked like you were at the top of the pack all the way and so it went. Great capture.

I think antelopes have straight black horns. Oh well, don't matter. Congrats! I'm glad I was there with you when you scored this shot.

Love,

Mom :^)

edit* If anyone is interested. I was right next to him with my camera and got this pic. Mine was handheld (vs Fetors Tripod) and I'm using a Rebel and Tamron lenses. Still not too bad. But you can see the superior detail with his shot.

I liked your photographer's comments (about not looking at the signs). My visits go like that, too:

Me: "Wow, hold on, I'm going to take a picture"
Wife: "What is it?"
Me: "I dunno, I just think it looks cool"

We have year-long Zoo passes and I still don't know what half the animals are in there.

Congrats on top 10 Fetor! I had this one pegged for a ribbon. GREAT shot! :-)

Congratulations on your top 10 finish with this coiled beauty. Very impressive.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great finish Cory. Congrats. I believe it's an Eland, the largest of the antelope family. The horns are a bit more twisted than any Eland I've seen though, so I'm not sure.

A very neat and sharp image. Good work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Super-sharp and great background and dof. People seem to love spirals in photos, and so do I, so I think this will be a top finisher. Humorous too. Great job! [10]

It's all good. 10. Oh, like the title too.

I would have named this 'spitting headache'. Great pic. Colors and Exposure are just right. 10.

An interesting animal captured with good sharpness and color. The expression is ho-hum and I might have cropped it a bit more off-centered, but the outstanding DOF and bokeh really make this shot (I smell an expensive lens at work). The result is almost three-dimensional, and that will make it stand out from most of the other entries.

Awsome pic. I love all the detain in the horns. Here's a photo that looks good to make a big poster in a living room.

This gets a 10 from me. I like.

very nice, i really i realy like it

A noble image. I would have liked to have seen a bit more neck for the composition, but then the verical dimension would have been prohibitive. I think photographing these guys is problematic because of that. Excellent look and feel in this capture.

Love the tongue action. Great composition and wonderful use of DOF.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Amazing sharpness.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/18/2005 11:48:03 PM
Great capture. The tounge says it all. :OP I think the only thing I feel would make this better is if his left ear was turned out like the right one. Great job should be in the top ten.

This is such a great, crisp shot! The sharpness and depth of field are amazing. What interesting horns!

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice

Fantastic DOF and a creatively unique entry. 10
