This is taken at the same den as the previous shot, but here are three of the slightly older hyenas, developing their spots and coats. They had a bit of bone and were fighting over it and just generally being pups. As with the previous shot it was still misty and the background reflects this to an extent - in fact the shot came out of camera quite soft for that reason, although with plenty of detail in there. I might be able to get more out with a bit more care.
Contrast and sharpening on the pups; and little NR to zap any noise in the background, and a small crop all around to focus on the action. The aperture was the only one to get me just about enough shutter speed as I had switched from ISO 1600 to ISO 800 shortly before this coming together happened.
Of course criticism is welcome.
