Wow! Marc you have come back with some stunning shots. For me, I'd have been happy to just have seen some Wild Hunting Dogs, but to get this is over the top. TFS

I'm sure the action was fast and furious and you captured an instant of that action very well. The face of the dog on the right is incredible. That age old story of survival in Africa has truly been captured in this image.

a stunner Marc - wonderful capture of fast-paced action. how often do you come to Southern Africa?

[Robert Amoruso]

Marc,

Great job capturing the action and the comp works out well too. I am on a laptop so this may be the reason but I feel a bit more contrast would heighten the dynamics of the image.

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Marc Love the action and glad you got the tail in !!! Looks good on this screen !!!

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Marc, dramatic action, and you timed it perfectly. Yep, these wild dogs can get fairly worked up over food.

[Roy Priest]

Marc, great action and it really tells a story. Love the expression on the dog on the left.

[Marc Mol]

Appreciate all the comments guys.

Unfortunately not enough Morkel! :(
My wife and I try to make it at least every 2nd year.

Great action! Love the flying "meat" and the overall intensity.
