On our first morning in Khwai Community we got up very early, just as well really :wink:

This Wild Dog was strolling with the pack, and posed nicely in front of one of the many waterways.

Wonderfully rich colours combine with a great low perspective to make this a very engaging shot Ken.
were you sitting in the sand?

It looks like Khwai has treated you well Ken! Despite the rather dull static pose of the dog the image grabs the eye as a result of the super low angle, the smooth even BG and the good light on the subject.

Hey Ken,

My thoughts on this mirror Vincent's completely so I won't repeat. But glad you got up early so you could end up sharing this with us!

Cheers...

Brad

Always good to see them, Ken. Good light on this one. In an ideal world some "ear-turn" towards us would have been great :wink:

Thanks everybody for your kind comments.
I was actually sitting normally in a Land Cruiser.

What a great POV! I, too, though, wish that both ears were turned towards the camera, as well as a bit more view of the tail!
