Kiss of death

[Marc Mol]

7.40am
This was one of two Hyenas that came upon this buffalo that had been killed by a female and two young adult males earlier in the morning.
Would have liked a little more lower room.:e3

Lovely image!

[gail bisson]

A very compelling image and a good title. Like the position of the buffalo's head and the open eye which contrasts well with the almost closed eye of the hyena. I agree re:more room on the bottom but still an excellent image.Well done,
gail

Brilliant image !! No nits .

[Morkel Erasmus]

Spectacular framing and moment here Marc...:5
Now if only the hyena's eyes were open :w3...

Looks like you might have cracked on the sharpening just a tad too much??

[Marc Mol]

Appreciate the comments guys, many thanks.



Now if only the hyena's eyes were open :w3...

Very nice moment,the eyes closed don't bug me...A special moment well captured!

[Marc Mol]

Thanks Dumay.


that had been killed by a female and two young adult males earlier in the morning.


I should add that it was 3 lions (not Hyena) that initially made this kill.

[Morkel Erasmus]

You don't kiss with your eyes open??...........do you Morkel?

That depends on WHO I am kissing...:2eyes2::Whoa!:

Seriously...my bad for not mentally linking the image with the apt title you gave it. I should stop critiquing late at night...:e3:bg3:
