You captured the determination beautifully, Marc. Like the eye contact.

[Stu Bowie]

I like the light in this Marc, and well timed to capture all four feet off the ground. Did you know that each wild dog has its own distinct pattern, and not one is the same ( as in finger prints) I like the comp too, plenty of space to run into.

[Ken Watkins]

Marc,

This is very good better than any I got at Mapula!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

This is awesome. Love the beautiful action and eye contact. Would love to have this one in my files. Congratulations Marc.

[ChasMcRae]

Great action shot with sharp bright eye contact. Gallop (feet off ground) look makes it especially exciting.

[Danny J Brown]

Hey Marc- I really love this one. Action shots like this are just so fun to look at and you really nailed it. Beautiful.

[Hendri Venter]

I like the way you froze the action with all feet from the ground. Its a fantastic image. Gongrats Marc.

[Elmar Venter]

Super picture Marc! A rare moment captured of a rare animal. Such intence action and very sharp. Perhaps try to add a little bit of light to the left eye? Did you see the kill?

[David Fletcher]

Cracking shot Marc. Love the action and space, and love how all feet are off the ground. Top stuff.

[Nagesh Mula]

Its a great action shot and with the legs in air, this looks fantastic. Congrats!!

Hi Marc: I'm back again to tell you that I can't quit looking at this photo, man! One of my favorites ever on BPN and I've looked at thousands of images here. Thanks.

[Marc Mol]

Appreciate all the comments guys.

We arrived about 2 minutes after they had made the kill, and already they were tucking right in.
