Nice action shown here and I like the DOF. Like the crop chosen, gives them a bit of room but not too much.
Shame about the missing head, but the look on the middle and first pups are priceless!
Well captured Ken.

Center dog's expressions explains why head is missingOriginally Posted by Ken Watkins
Ken, it really works as a habitat-type image. They all can't be perfectly posed heads; I wouldn't give it a second thought and I don't think you have!
Cheers, Jay

Looks like they're having fun. Always interesting to see the variation in markings on these guys.
the missing head is no deal-breaker as the other two really engage the viewer with their antics
always nice to see wild dogs in fairly open surroundings - nice one Ken!
last thought - how much of a crop is this? would you consider going in tighter from the RHS and top?
Thanks to you all for your kind comments
Marc,
I agree "priceless" is the word
Jay,
You are correct, second thoughts are not my thing
Morkel,
Width wise this is almost full frame, I have just cropped from the top and bottom, I'll take a look.
I agree with the others - nice one all around Ken.
