Coming at You

One of the best sightings in Wildlife is the observance of a Wild Dog greeting ceremony, unfortunately it is extremely difficult to get a clear image as it is absolute mayhem.
Here is a shot that I was lucky enough to have the camera pointed in the right direction without to much interference.
Taken in Hwange National Park, Ziimbabwe.
EOS 1DX Mk II
200-400 mm F4 with 1.4 EX at 560 mm
F6.3
ISO 800
1/1250

This one looks great Ken. I like the head on look from both dogs.

I watched the greeting rituals on y-tube, and you are right that it is an event...and full of movement.  Good exposure and good job of getting these two to pose.
