Aside from the spot on technicals, I like the background-just enough detail to indicate their environment. I also like that it is unnecessary to tell their story in words because the image tells it all. The blood, the licking, their posture and full bellies tell the story.

Hey Ken,
I like this one - good diagonal flow, you definitely nailed the DoF, and (as Jim said) this one tells a nice story all by itself. I also like the subtle lighting. In my view this is one of your stronger posts (that's not to discount the value or quality of your recent posts, but rather a positive statement about THIS shot).
Cheers...
Brad
