    Default Painted Pup Lineup

    Not sure if I posted this frame from our amazing time at the painted dog puppy den last year?

    Some very young Painted Dog (African Wild Dog) puppies emerge from their den at Ngala Private Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger Park area. This was last year, and apparently the pack is denning on the reserve again! To read the whole story, and see more photos, check out my blog post: http://bit.ly/DogDen

    What a lineup, love the low POV, one can already sense their individual personalities, very envious of this one mate, well done again

    Hi Morkel - Huge cuteness factor here. Great low pov and dof. The pups look a little more red than the youngsters I've seen so I might reduce the reds on them but you were there.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Mork, super cute pups and very nice low shooting angle. Nice details and head angles of all pups. TFS.

    Cuteness overload for sure here! The low POV is what makes the shot, and to get 3 of the 4 virtually on the focus plane shows nice timing.

    Thanks folks
    Rachel, these were quite "light" and reddish compared to other pups I've seen. Will tweak it and see if it works, though?
