Uganda Kob

Having just returned from Uganda thought it was about time to post a "local" animal.
Now as plentiful as Impala, despite nearly being wiped out in the Idi Amin era.
Taken in the forest area of Semliki Game Reserve.

Nice image! To me it looks like it needs a slight contrast boost. Also wish the horns were not blending with the BG. Nice color and pose. TFS

That's a handsome critter, Ken. I too find the horns getting lost in the background.

John and Mark,
I agree the horns would be better without the background, I will try to find one a little clearer

Nicely posed specimen, Ken. I agree with the wish for clean background, especially behind horns.
