Wild Ass Sanctuary, Little Rann of Kutchh, India

1D2N, 500mm+2x, tripod
f/11, 1/500, ISO400

I normally post in the Avian forum. But I thought I'd share this image of an endemic wild ass here. I made this recently at a sanctuary in western India. This Indian Wild Ass is being chased by a feral dog.

All comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Satie,

nice image and the action is great. From composition point of view also well done, there is nice room / space in which the wild ass can run in. Also the fact that the wild ass is running towards the viewer is great.

Hi Satie...
Great! I really like the action here! The background is also pleasent and non-distracting I think.

Satie - this is action packed! Great DOF and subject placement within the frame. The mud kicking up at the hooves is the icing on the cake!

I absolutely love it. What a great behavior shot! So cool to see these species that we're so familiar with a very different context.
