The tails tell the tale here.
May crop little foreground and add some canvas on the top, interesting frame n story as well.

You are on a roll my friend. Love the action you managed to capture here. The coats on the dogs is really set this one off. My only suggestion would be a little more room all around. Well done.

Love it as is, Ken. I agree that a bit more space would make it better.

Great shot, Ken! The dogs look gorgeous and energetic. Mercifully they killed their prey quickly; I was glad you added that little detail to your narrative. I like this as is– a frame full of ravenous predators.
