[Roman Kurywczak]

Congratulations Grant Atkinson for your image "Wild Dogs on Alert" being chosen as the Wildlife Image of the Week for the week ending 2/18/2011!!!

Canon 5Dmk2, Canon 70-200 f/4.0L IS lens. Handheld. S/s 1/640 at f/7.1, iso 640. Subject distance 4.5m. Eval metering, Ai Servo focus mode. No cropping. Processed in ACR and CS5. Feb 2011, 17h56pm. Location Savuti bush camp, Botswana.
This dog closest to the camera is one of the half grown pups belonging to the Linyanti pack. It was curious and made a close but cautious approach. There is a small OOF leaf in the lhs of the image which I might clone out.
