Nice action on this one Ken, excellent timing on your part to get the one jumping up.

This is a fun shot, Ken. I think the catch light in the eye and the expression of the one in the back really make the shot. The crop feels a bit tight at the top, but overall I like the setting. It's always nice to see a green African background.

The catch-light and visible teeth makes this image interesting Ken. The position of the second dog is far from ideal unfortunately.

Thanks to every body for your kind comments, which are much appreciated.
As with most wild animals getting Wild Dogs in the "right" position when they are running around is next to impossible, I agree that it would be nice to have more of the front dogs face in view, but the important thing to me is the expression on the rear dog.
