    super shot Ken - your best wild dog image I've seen yet...

    how did you bribe your vehicle to not go for the "obligatory sundowner" (I don't care much for them and would much rather spend that time photographing in last light)

    Ken - welcome back. Looks like a successful trip if this is any indication. Nice action, well captured and I love the tail flip. Looking forward to seeing more from your recent outing.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Excellent capture with great water droplets, great eye, head and ears...right down to the tail! Do you a have a bit more room on the top?

    Welcome back also Ken.
    Love the light and sense of movement here, water splashes enhancing nicely, agree on a little more on top and right. Well captured nonetheless.

    Thanks to everybody for your comments.

    Morkel,

    The simple answer to avoiding sundowners is to go on your own mobile, we use Ewan Masson, he used to drive for Frans Lanting, and was one of the original founders of Wildernness Safaris. Far better than a guide who gets his "ticket" after 2 years training.

    Rachel,

    I have lots more some of which are relatively rare.

    Nancy,

    I am afraid I have no more room, it was quite frantic and just getting the dogs in frame was quite difficult.
