We have never seen a Wild dog in this situation before, and never seen a pack of Wild dog in this area of Hwange, they are coming back!

I love the position of this animal on the mound. Nice background and the wild dog is very sharp which is most apparent when viewed large.

Very nice use of line in this composition, Ken. The large view reveals an excellent catchlight in the eye, too.

The catch light could only be described as lucky cool

Thanks for all of your comments.

Golden light to die for, catchlight, sharp focus, the alert look on the dog's face, the mound.....what's not to like?!
