Hyena on a mission

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

This guy seemed to be fixated on something and walking with great intent.

Wow, Sanjeev, what a pose. He looks totally focused. I like the composition. One little nit grabs my eye - the horizontal OOF grass right in front of his nose.

[Tobie Schalkwyk]

Beautiful pic and nice sharp focus in the facial area, Sanjeev! He looks very alert and his colors are well complemented by the BG colours. Well done on this one!

[Rachel Hollander]

Hi Sanjeev - nice light, sharpness, detail and an intense pose. If it were mine, I would drop the reds just slightly (-7 or so) and would crop from the right to remove the space behind the leg.

TFS,
Rachel

Nice profile shot and good detail and colours Sanjeev. Not sure but the reds might actually be dried blood from diving into a carcass.

[Rachel Hollander]

Yes, Carl, I do think the matted red on the neck and body is blood but I still think the reds overall are just slightly strong.

[Morkel Erasmus]

Nice profile here, Doc. Besides what's already been pointed out above, I'd crop slightly from bottom and RHS to get rid of the partial legs (personal preference though)...
