Jackal on a kill

The pack of Jackals happened to finished off the kill, two days back. This one came back in search of a bite or two.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

interesting shot Jagdeep
I like the DOF here, and the "naughty" look of the jackal...I just wish there was a bit more space to show what he was looking at? I know that would have caused you to cut off the carcass! Tough choices in the field...

Very well rendered image, Jagdeep. I like the comp and lovely tones throughout.

I like your choice on F stop here. It keeps us focused on the carcass and Jackal.

Hi Jagdeep, an interesting shot and I like this a lot, a typical chancer, always on the lookout for a free meal. I wonder if a 'pano' crop might work too, echoing the content? I do find it a little over sharp.

Fine behavioral capture, skillfully done. Due to his looking to our left I wonder how it would have looked with camera pointing more to the left, although that would have clipped the remnants of the kill.
