Hi Ken, they are cool: three mongooses! There is a white line coming straight down form the lower tail that I suggest you clone out. Oh yeah, where is the cobra? Aren't these the critters that take on cobras?
Cheers, Jay

Capturing and Processing landscapes and seascapes allows me to express my vision and reality of Nature.
Thanks Jay, I had not spotted that, must be the usual dry grass. I think these little ones probably do not go for snakes.
Super shot Ken. Grass noted. Neat shot!
Nice shot Ken, love the eye contact :) I wonder what it would look like if you cropped a little off the lhs to take them out of the middle ?
I believe Artie sells Mongoose but I cannot work out how to mount one on my tripod and get them to hold my 500 f4 :eek::eek::D

Tell,
I did that when posted this picture on my website, then I noticed the tail on the left.
Supe shot , great eye contact , this works for me ,
Harshad
Really cool shot with the eye contact from all three... I like their position in relation to one another as well. If mine I might play with a more square crop eliminating some left and right... great as is... congrats!
Very nice capture and eye contact of the this trio. Im fine with the crop as is.
Slender mongoose?
Thank you for all the comments, and thanks to the mongoose for posing so nicely.
One of my favorites here from your recent trips Ken. Great comp and timber back drop.
Doing well to get all 3's attention.
Cheers
