Quite how all African wildlife put up with flies is beyond me. This is a fine example as to how pesky they can be. We found this Bushbuck in Kake Mburo National Park, Uganda.

Excellent detail here Ken and the bright green BG makes a nice backdrop that isolates the subject well.

Nice portrait. The flies add visual interest...but would we consider it appeal?

Regardless, the detail and dof control are excellent.
