    What a great shot. I like that we can see all 3 animals heads and eyes clearly. Nice BG -as always at Giant's Castle. If you are not against cloning I would remove the bone on the left at the top of the little mound. I find my eye goes there. If you have a bit more room at the top it wold be great, although it is fine as is. Excellent action shot,

    What a story teller this capture is. Love interaction of the 3 and the nice angle which really makes the story clear.

    Terrific action shot. A little more DOF might have helped, but you caught the moment nicely. I like the comp.

    Hi Craig, it seems like you have got your monies worth from your trip to Giants. Excellent capture, with three different species all vying for a piece of the bone. An opportunity well used.
