Wild Dog

I have been very lucky with Wild Dog sightings, and am currently going back through my catalogue in a tidying up excercise, prior to getting a book printed.

Here is one I have polished up a bit, this one was taken on the dried up river bed of the Limpopo on the border between South Africa and Borswama

I like the angle you took this from, and that he had to look back over the shoulder to scope you out. Different from other images of these subjects I have seen. That is some coat they have!

Seems out of focus (kidding!

) What a great animal to have around. A nice, clean shot. I like the setting and coloring of the Dog.

The larger view is a real treat. Wonderful "dog-like" expression, at least that's how our pom looks when I call him.

Very pretty animal with the wild patterns and colors, you captured him well, as usual.

The low point of view really adds to this already excellent image. Composition, color, dof, sharpness, and the list goes on

. Nice work.
