Wild Dog Stare
I decided to revisit some of my Sabi Sabi images from last year. Sabi Sabi is a private game reserve, where you are guaranteed to get close to most of the predators. We had driven into a river bed and came across a pack of Wild dogs and their pups. This one decided to give me the 1000 yard stare.

Beautiful image, looks like a young one to me. I've never seen a Wild Dog in Sabi, but then I have only been once.
I love the low angle and those huge ears and how he's just looking through you....
Nice mischievous pose here Stuart, great color and exp.
Sabi holds a special place with us too as we got married there 5 years ago at Leopard Hills.
I am loving those eyes , fantastic image

Stuart,
I like this image. The eye contact is nice. The low angle enhances it. The sand ensures that there is no distraction in the background.
Marc:
What a fabulous place to choose! Great idea.
Cheers,

We saw the wild dogs on one of our trips to Botswana and this image is just outstanding. I love their sense of extended family and how sociable they are with each other. The pose and low angle just puts this over the top for me. Love it.

Thanks a stack for the comments. Much appreciated.
Nice image Stuart. I like the colors of the sand and the way the legs lead the viewer's eye to the face.
This is a wonderful pose with great eye contact at eye level. The sand makes a perfect foil for the dog. Very nice.
Steve, John, thanks a stack guys.
missed this one! I am so green - I have NO wild dog shots whatsoever...
great shot for all the reasons mentioned, mate...
Thanks a stack Mork.
