Dhole - two heads???

Shot this is at Kabini during this summer, I liked the behavior & the affection of these two dholes, it was lovely to watch them.

The dhole at front appears to have moved when the image was clicked. The one at the back seems to be sharp. The increase in contrast has led to dark eyes. Overall the image looks dark and brightness can be increased a bit more. In this case, I would have experimented with a horizontal. Is this a big crop?

Their playful behaviour reinforces their bonding with each other. This behaviour is important as they are not endowed with physical attributes like large canines, body size etc like other carnivores, so they can't bring down prey alone.

Cheers,

The composition looks fine to me. Sharpness has been compromised here. Do try using a beanbag for shooting. They are not too expensive and can be made at home too. They help a lot when one is shooting from vehicles.

Nice behavioural image. The image looks a bit underexposed, reducing the contrast would help. A horizontal composition with more space on the right would have enhanced the image further.

Look forward to more..
