Ken, there is so much to like about your image, especially Wild Dog's facial expression showing raised ears and intense interest in something that has caught his attention but is out of our view. I also like the great detail in his mottled coat and, of course, the gory red meat hanging out of his mouth. Very nice!

This is a very neat image of the African wild dog! The alert pose of the dog, the colors and details in its coat, the very supportive background, and of course the hunk of meat hanging from its mouth. Good eye to see and record this!. Thanks for sharing.

Love so many things about this frame, great subject, alert pose, coat of the Wild dog, neat pose, kill etc. etc.
May prefer to have a touch more room at the top.
