    The interaction makes this one for me. Makes you wonder why the jackal is running away as if someone wants him for lunch. :) Have you tried to selectively sharpen the incoming bird more? Maybe it can get a bit sharper without introducing artifacts or noise.

    Great interaction, the OOF bird in the back doen't bother me. Perhaps slightly more canvass on the right?

    GREAT natural moment, I only wish that the head of the perched vulture was visible. Congratulations!

    Good Action and nice light to me the focus of attention is the Jackal and I would place this in the Wildlife section

    Great interaction Kobus, and the jackal looks like he's wanting to get out of there in a hurry. I agree, a little more space on the right would work.
