Eye Level?

This Wild Dog was kind enough to run towards me on the side of a termite mound, raising himself up almost to eye level

Nice pose captured here Ken. Lots of detail too. I would have preferred a cleaner BG but I guess this is how the scene presented itself

Before noting your title, I was already marveling at the nice eye level effect! Cool.

Thanks everybody for your comments much appreciated

Mario,
I would have preferred not to have the bush, but as you say you can only take what is there

Nice low POV Ken and the eyes look great. So many times the eyes on wild dogs are just lost in the darkness of their faces. (mind you this one has quite a light face)
For me though, although the green foliage contrasts well with the dog's markings, the background is just a bit too strong.
You'll just have to try and do better this time around.

Martin,
Back in Kwando this Christmas, so plenty of time to practise
