A really interesting shot, I suppose when times are hard the animals get sustenance from wherever they can, the picture tells a story and I learned something. I think you did a good job on the background and you preserved the hairs on the warthog's head. As always your picture is pinsharp and well exposed.

Hi Stuart - always nice to see you posting over here in wildlife and a very evocative image. Unusual and tells a story of trying to survive. I think the warthog works centered here especially with the raised leg of the eland. Nice low pov despite shooting from the vehicle and your usual high IQ.
TFS,

Hi Stuart, I like this because 'it's different'! Nice rich tones/colour overall. I would suggest you look at adding a tweak in Curves and or adding some selective colour via the black in both Neutrals & black, it just punches it up and adds some depth IMHO. Nothing you can do, but not a lover of the partial horn creeping in at the foot of the image as it is just a wee bit distracting from the WH.
If you have any with the tusks and nose more visible I think that would clinch the shot for me.
Nice to see you posting on this side of the fence Stu.

Cool I like it. The central placement works with the framing of the FG beast and the diagonal leg a nice touch.

Very unusual and very well done! Great story and I haven't even heard or seen of this!
