Day of the Jackal
Got this very early in the morning having watched a pride of lions despatch a whole Zebra the previous night. The only contenders were the vultures for this guy & his partner.

Hi Steve,

Lovely capture! If room I'd like to see a touch more room to the right of the frame!

Hi Steve,

Lovely light on this one. Nice to get him with food. Composition is a bit central for me, I also feel it needs more USM as is his head/eye looks a tad soft.

Regards

Rob
