Wonderful gory colour and pose here Giovanni, says everytning about a hyena, I would crop to just behind it's front leg and have more room up front if you have it.

Hi Gio -- Gory picture but says a lot about the way these Hyena go about their meal . Loved the colour contrast on the face and the rest of its body . Agree with Marc's suggestion on the comp and also i think the body of the subject has a lot of cyan cast to it . The ear looks a bit crunchy to me .

TFS !

This shoot was made in Kruger near satara...and hyenas were eating an hippo killed (but no eated) by 3 lions male
Ok for Cyan cast I will verify and for crunchy...thanks

Hi Gio - The IQ on these is much better than your previous wildlife posts. The gore doesn't bother me and tells a story. I believe what Marc is suggesting and with which I agree is to crop just behind the knee on the rhs. I am only seeing a little cyan in the image (in the shadow behind the ear) so do not think there is a cast.

It's great that you've been commenting on other people's images.

TFS,
Rachel

What a stunning image, I also agree that the blood tells the story of how deep they get into there meal , love the color, and the intense look.

[Morkel Erasmus]

The blood-covered face really tells a tale here, Giovanni.
I like what Marc did with his repost, frames it a bit better...

[Basil Dardagan]

Love the image ! Must say that although a bloody faced Hyena is not uncommon this is the first time i have seen it soo well captured ! The striking red is a big wow ! Also agree that the repost crop works better
