    Hi Andre - Nice sense of movement here from the hyena and good sharpness. My first thought was that it is a bit tight below. I know you already added canvas but maybe a little more? I also might try to tone the hl in the mouth a little. Overall nice tones and colors.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Andre, would echo Rachel's thoughts here, what about a few frames before, would they perhaps offer an alternative???

    Hi ANdre -- I also instantly felt that it is still very tight at the bottom . But a well timed shot getting nearly all its legs in the air and dust is an addition to the image , nice details as well .

    TFS !

    Added some more canvas down below (cloned from another in the series), toned down the business end of the hyena.
    Steve, the other images in series is not fit, angle and direction of sun..
    WDYT?
    Regards

    Nice pose, dynamic and light here Andre. Great clarity and sharpness too.
    I am actually fine with the "tightness" as presented in the OP?
