Eish! This is a new one Morkel! Awesome light and contrast with the lighter and warmer BG on top! The raised legs add a lot as well! Only you getting brownie-points for this one... 
Where in KTP was this? Low angle... so not Nossob hide...?

Very, very nice, Morkel. A real treat to get a fine image of the Brown Hyena, in pleasant light no less. I must be a brown hyena's mother, since I find this species attractive
. Love the markings on the legs and the shaggy coat.
TFS and congrats on the capture. Kij Kij is north of Twee Rivieren from what I remember.

Hi Morkel - a definite treat to see a brown hyena and you've captured it well. Beautiful light, nice walking pose and good detail. Unfortunate placement of droppings in the fg but it is nature. I would dodge the bright area between the leg and tail (no comments please).
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Morkel, all has been addressed in the above comments, a cracking image and shows that upping the ISO nails images that some may not have taken.
Love the raised feet.

A fine shot, super detail and excellent colours. It must have been a real pleasure to have seen this hyaena so close.

Beautiful BG lighting and great timing on the leg posings. Nicely smooth look yet still detailed.

They are a bit goofy looking huh? Great light and a nice bg. I like how you captured the clumsy sort of stumbling walk over the scattered rocks.
