Nice shots. A bit more active than the ones down here at the West Midlands Safari Park.
Could be they are a bit stoned as apparently they have a liking for car exhausts and tyre rubber

Looks like they're enjoying their new enclosure and there's some nice action there. Your processing looks a bit bright and maybe you've overcompensated for a not to sunny day.

I love wild dogs,nice to see them running about, you caught the action well

Many thanks for all your comments

- Neil, I think you are right about the slight over-processing of these images. It was a dull day, and I tried to bring some colour/contrast into the images with a little too much pp work. Another visit in better light is now called for

Well caught excellent action shots

they do look a touch bright but I'm viewing on a small screen

- I've re-processed the last shot - what do you think?.....

That's an improvement in my eyes Russ

Thanks Neil - I really must resist the temptation to do too much pp work in future
