Wild Dogs interacting

There's lot of swift action, when Wild Dogs are around. They are cruel hunters and hardly show any emotions. Although pleased with this interaction, feeling too bad about the clipped foot.
Thankyou so much for your kind attention & views!
Canon 7D, 500mm, ISO 200, 1/250 sec. at F 5.

I like the action in this one Jagdeep. I don't think the clipped foot is such a big eal in this shot, because it isn't a full body shot anyway. If it were mine, I might even crop it tighter as a result to really put the emphasis on the action.

Nice shot Jagdeep, I like the detail in the dog on the left face. You don't see too many photos of wild dogs. I do find the OOF dog in the BG a bit distracting, but not much, hope you have more to share.

An impressive looking image Jagdeep. Apart from the clipped foot the right subject could have been a little sharper. A faster SS could have ensured that. As for DOF, the subjects could use a little more as they are not in the exact plane of focus, but that would have sacrificed the BG which is now nicely OOF, so I think you made the right choice there. :wink:

I like the eye contact and the ellipse formed by the two mouths. Clipped foot isn't an issue for me because the interaction and those teeth draw and hold my view. I like Kurt's idea of a tighter crop as another option.

Great shot, Jagdeep. Next time I go to India, I'll definitely visit Tadoba. It has been recommended to me as the best national park in India ? What do you think of that statement ?

Hi Carsten!
I happened to visit Tadoba for the first time this year, not very pleased with the place, because:
a) It doesn't have open grasslands (Has just one, amongst the places I visited);
b) has all tarcoal roads;
c) all the waterholes are manmade.
