loving the action here Ken...great composition too, if anything I wish the OOF stump at the front was amiss but the rest of the environment is so clear it's not a biggy for me.
seems like overcast light? nice detail in all areas, might try to give it a bit more oomph with LCE?
Agree with Morkel here, great action and comp. Contrast boost as mentioned would give it just a bit more punch. Well done.

Morkel and Todd,
You would not believe the contrast boost this has allready had and some LCE as well.
It was certainly overcast.
Hi Ken, I like it as posted.
Are they working together pulling meat from the bone, or is it every dog for himself?
Cheers, Jay

Love the interaction with this trio of pups tug of war here Ken, DOF has been well handled.

oh okay Ken, have a look anyway, don't want you to overdo it though :)You would not believe the contrast boost this has allready had and some LCE as well.
Ken, good interaction from all three WD's, and these guys sure know how to finish off a meal.
Nice work Ken...sounds like a challenging processing moment also, but think it came out well. I love the action on this.
Love the comp on this one Ken. Looks like a real "all for one and one for all" moment. The raised tails makes some nice bookends and the legs of the carcass pointing right to the faces of the three puts the viewer's eye right where it needs to be.
excellent capture here Ken , liked the action and images as posted

The reality of this situation was that the pups were playing with a dead carcass., and a jolly good game it was. There may well have been a few scraps of skin and meat but I like to think it was just play.
Thanks for your kind comments, Wid Dogs are a privilige to see and can nearly always be relied on for some interesting action and/or cute poses.
It is strange to think that they were once persecuted. Special thanks should go to San Parks and their commercial sponsors for donating these to Botswana.
