Dearest Rachel,
Wonderful image of one of my favourite predators:)
Love the alert pose from this wild dog with its front paw slightly raised and about to take off. A well exposed frame and some nice detail coming through. The blood stained fur adds a degree of drama and gives a chronological framework to the event you have captured, in other words "tells the story". I see you already mentioned you have no more space at the bottom of the frame - it is a bit tight but still works for me. Nice separation between subject and BG.
A carefully processed frame and an engaging frame I truly enjoyed viewing - thank you so much for sharing!
Warmest regards,

Light well handled here, Rachel - liking the pose and the bloodied fur.
I think it can go with a bit more depth in midtone?

Hey Rachel, the light ,how it catches her? just makes this for me Rachel,the alert pose raised foot all give an intensity to the wild dog for me. Rachel the base proximity works for me ,I'm curious as I make this mistake on a worse level is it feasable to add canvas to a shot like this? Ethics permitting etc,just musing really obviously I can go there at this time,sadly
Wonderful frame Rachel, I really like this !!
take care

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like this one. Stu - it might be possible to add canvas, though not something I generally do. You would have to be careful not to have telltale repeating features.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Hi Rachel -- This is very nicely done , The subject is special and the image is doing full justice to the scene . no need to mention regarding the space at the bottom. I tend to agree with Morkel reg some more punch in the midtones .
TFS !

Lovely shot Rachel I really like the alert pose, gorgeous colours and light. If you recrop and use Content Aware fill in simultaneously I think you can get away with a bit more canvas at the base.

Thanks Haseeb and Jon. Yes, Jon, but generally not a manipulation that I am comfortable with ethically.
Thanks,

I have never been to Africa but the hunting dog is one animal there that above all others has caught my attention since I was a kid, and this is a great shot. You can almost feel the inquisitiveness and the attention to whatever it is looking at.

Hi Rachel ....always a thrill to see one of those , and specially when they are not running .
Lovely side profile shot and the blood stained fur is adding a lot to the image .
Love the well controlled tones under the given lighting situation ...very good job .
Colors do look good too.... only nit is the missing space at the foot of the frame ...but you know yourself !!!
