nice soft light and cool behaviour, Hadi
I like how you cropped with the small plants around the jackal
if you have the file quality I would also consider a tighter crop from the right and top - bring it in close around the jackal?

which species of jackal - and more importantly - where in Iran is it this wet? :Whoa!: (I have the idea of desert in my mind, given the location of the country and your previous posts)

Nice shot, and agree with Morkel - quite a swamp-like setting for Iran :Whoa!:
The only thing that doesn't work for me is the plant right ahead of the jackal.

Hi Morkel. Thank you for your excellent comments. my intent for this crop was Illustrated by a picture of the animal's location.
but about of IRAN I must say.It is The four seasons Country.My Location (QESHM Island) is a Dry Land.but Iran is not the case elsewhere. AZINI Estuary is Where that the tide is high.

Great subject and the fish is a huge plus. I like the environment included in this one, especially the vegetation in the front. I also like seeing the jackal muddy and wet.
