Congrats on a really cute juxtaposition. How did you know about the lion incident???

How could you not like this. Nice light and wonderful poses from great looking subjects. Would take off about 1/2 the empty space above the pups if mine. Well done. TFS

Peter,
A wonderful image, I am deeply envious. I have only ever had one chance to get Jackal pups in around 2003 in Etosha then I had a 30D and a cheap Sigma lens plus backlight, so not as good as this (I did keep them though).


I agree with the suggestions of a little crop from the top.

Nothing wrong with cute. I like the light and the "cute factor". I might consider cropping some from the top.

Thank you all for comments , will crop from top as suggested .

Artie , I was present when the incident happened , it lasted about two hours, got a few high iso images of jackal in lioness mouth.. it was great to have had a hollywood ending ... awesome to watch the little guy get home.

thanks for comments

Hi Peter, sorry missed this first round.

This certainly tugs at the 'heart strings', a very cute image.

Yes, a crop from the top would help, any room on the lhs?
