    One of my favourite characters in the Kalahari and an entertainer second to none - the Blackbacked Jackal. Subject is busy calling his mates for backup while following a leopard in pursuit of prey... I wish I could add sound to this...

    Was planning to share another image but it appears the file is damaged so I will have to process again tomorrow night - my apologies Rachel, I was going to surprise you tonight but things did not work out.

    Hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow, thank you so much for viewing

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Gabriela, the calling pose really makes this interesting. I like the habitat and the composition with good techs too. The soft light is nice too. TFS.

    The call of the wild - Gabriela.

    I like the framing and good timing, techs look good too. The curl of the tail is a nice touch. Not much more to add, good to have you contributing your images again.

    Hi Gabriela - This works quite well. I love the placement in frame with all that negative space for the call/sound to go out into the habitat. Colors and tones look good. Can't wait to see my surprise.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Rachel, I think I'll email you the surprise - busy to process that file again but it's looking more and more OOTB
