I think I meant 'Very...' fingers quicker than brain :-)

It works well - I like it - well done...

Beautiful shot Marc. Love the lighting, inclusion of habitat and that alert hunting pose. Good use of space.

I like the backlighting and composition. I would lighten the face a bit. Color in the tongue is a big plus.

[Alfred Forns]

Love the overall feel and framing is just right for me ... very appealing image !!! Agree with David on the face.

Another winner here Marc and the rimlighting looks awesome as does the beautiful surroundings. Gorgeous, my friend.

Love the alert pose, habitat, and all the sparkly highlites in the grass. Is the red thing on the right a flower or some kind of insect?

[Marc Mol]

Appreciate all the comments guys, many thanks.

Thanks Steve
I think it's just a small shrub.

Just back, was this one of the Mapula pack?

I think I would take a little more off the right.
