Jeff, love the tender moment here between these prairie dogs. The wide view showing some habitat has great potential, but I'm not particularly fond of the very strong line splitting the image. Especially with those plants sticking up along that center line, they easily compete for attention with the prairie dogs (since they are so small). Was there perhaps a way to get high enough to remove the dark background from the frame, or the opposite (low enough to make the dark the entire background)?
Animalscapes can be very difficultl to execute.. The BG in this one doesn't really contribute to the image. I would probably have gone in much closer for this one (if possible) to hightlight the great action taking place..
