    Wow! Marc you have come back with some stunning shots. For me, I'd have been happy to just have seen some Wild Hunting Dogs, but to get this is over the top. TFS

    I'm sure the action was fast and furious and you captured an instant of that action very well. The face of the dog on the right is incredible. That age old story of survival in Africa has truly been captured in this image.

    Marc,

    Great job capturing the action and the comp works out well too. I am on a laptop so this may be the reason but I feel a bit more contrast would heighten the dynamics of the image.

    Hi Marc, dramatic action, and you timed it perfectly. Yep, these wild dogs can get fairly worked up over food.

    Great action! Love the flying "meat" and the overall intensity.
