Spotted Hyena Den (colour version)

[Morkel Erasmus]

As requested by so many...here is a colour version.

Cropped to a more pano-style comp, removed vignette and also blurred the BG slightly less than in the B&W version. I still prefer the B&W version personally...

Techs:
Canon 40D with 100-400mm L IS USM @ 400mm
f7.1 @ 1/400 SS @ ISO-400

Morkel, I really like this one, and would be inclined to crop-off some more on the bottom, the pup's expression is just priceless!

Hi Morkel One or the other is just a mater of taste, they look very good.

Agree on cropping some from the bottom, don't need all that negative space and will make the faces larger in frame !!!

They both look good, so comes down to a matter of personal taste. Very nice capture.TFS

Nice one Morkel, I like the pano crop and the low angle, was this from KK?

[Vida van der Walt]

Both versions are great but I prefer this one Morkel. A lovely image and sighting. Great detail and ditto low angle and pano.:)

[Ken Watkins]

Despite the fact that there is little colour in this image I prefer it to the B&W version. I agree that a little off the bottom would make it even better.

I love the extreme low angle here, Morkel. Seeing cubs of any species is a fun experience with a lot of potential for photographic opportunities. You did nicely here capturing the mom's watchful eye. I like this version, the lighting is good here.

thanks a lot for the comments everybody...
