I like the behavioural aspect here Gabriela and it illustrates well the 'scavenger' aspect of this subject, always on the lookout for a free meal.
I also like the warm light, what time was it shoot, but just wonder if you could get a bit more 'separation' in the colour... 1/3200 perhaps is a tad over, maybe 1/2000 SS, but it hasn't really hurt the image. Perhaps just a fraction smaller in frame, you don't say if it's FF, so maybe an alternative crop may work, but keeping the same proportions.
Needless to say I am unhappy about the man-made bits,
It is what it is Gabriela, you can't change it, but agree, a more natural environment may have been better.

Hi Gaby, lovely light on the Jackal, as it shows up the eyes, and the colours of his coat so well. Good DOF on the Jackal and his meal, and Im fine with the wall in the BG, as it is hidden mostly behind Mr Jackal.

Hi Gabriela, this is a dramatic shot, the bird really adds uniqueness! The nice light and that eye illuminated takes this up a lot. I don't mind the wall.
Cheers,

Hi Gabriela - This has much better structure and detail. I too like the warm light and behavioral aspect of the image. Doesn't look like a very appetizing meal. Maybe it needs some peri peri sauce? I don't mind the wall either. While not ideal, it's not as bad as many man-made objects at some waterholes.
TFS,

I lke the image I also like the colours and textures. The wall doesn't bother me one iota. I do feel the subject is a bit big in the frame - I think this aspect is especially relevant on images this size, the jackal is a bit of an eyeful if you get my drift.

Thanks for 'Part II' Gabriela and sorry for coming in a bit late (I had diverted my attention to Avian briefly). I concur with the comments already made about being a bit tight in frame... but I'm guessing you were avoiding other ugly man-made objects? If you hadn't pointed out the man-made wall, it would have taken me some moments to notice as my eye is drawn the the jackal and its catch. So, like Jon, it doesn't bother me. I like the shot overall, especially the sumptuous detail and well handled processing in that area.

Hi Gabriela -- I liked the moment showing the Jackal's scavenging behaviour and also the details in the subject. Lovely warm light to complement the scene .
Some of the best sightings in the wild takes place at man made waterholes .
Enjoyed viewing this one , TFS !
