    Love the light and the motion with the paws off the ground. One slight nit is the rear left paw being hidden but then would love to have one like this in my library.

    Nice light and excellent posture on the pup. If you had waited a second longer, the BG might have been less cluttered but then again, it would then be a rear view. Sometimes hard to anticipate the best position with a moving subject. Good job.

    Now this guy is still cute, but that will be over in a few weeks! :D
    Nice photo Peter, I like the pose and the light on the animal. The BG is not fantastic. I would try to darken it a bit.

    Cheers

    Hey Peter,
    Love the angle and the action. The BG is natural but I will agree with Vincent to tone it down a little on the bright branches. It's much more difficult to get clean BG animal shots but toning the branches down will make this work for me,

    fantastic golden light.
    slightly blurred legs & the posture of the little hyena shows its playful mood well.

    rgds,

    Although it would be good if there was a little more canvas at the bottom of the image, Peter, this is an outstanding photo of a young hyena. Possibly the best I've ever seen. . . .
