The bounty hunter

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

A spotted Hyena walks away with its prize at Masai mara. A bit graphic but tells a story of these predators. Hope this fits into this months theme.

I like the image the colours look good, the skull looks sharp just maybe the hyaena head not quite so sharp (?) I would definitely be tempted to lift the shadows a little, I appreciate that's how it was but just a little lift would help I think.

Hi Sanjeev, a bit unfortunate being on the wrong side for the light, if it was me I would have gone another 50m further on, flipped the jeep and then tracked the subject as he's probably heading in one direction. Lifting the shadows is not something I might like to do with the 7D unless you have nailed the exposure. A few frames on and you would have missed the soil mound.

Hi Sanjeev - Nice walking pose and placement in frame. The skull adds to the image for me. I agree with Steve that the deep shadow and light angle is unfortunate.

TFS,

Hi Sanjeev -- What a sight ! and unfortunate on the lighting front but still you have done well in capturing this frame. TFS !

The light is not the best..but the shoot is very very nice...a more room in front could be better
