Interesting behavior shot -- the scruffier side of life in the wild.

Hi

A great little natural history type image that certainly captures an excellent interaction nicely. I have certainly enjoyed the viewing of this one

Regarding suggestions – I’d considered tightening up the composition via a crop to tidy the left edge, probably sticking to a more traditional format ratio which I think would strengthen the image lines of rock and water. I’d also consider trying to open up the shadows some as well, as seen the birds are upon my monitor looking a little too blocked in tonality – although this could easily just be the difference between monitors

All the best
Matthew

Good moment of action captured in this cool behavior. The paw on the kill sure seems to be saying "MINE"! Agree with Matthew's crop suggestion. Brightening the mid-tones will put a little more separation between the stones and the ravens and make them pop a bit more.

Nobody wants to share a meal that isn't easily found, even when its down to the last pickings. I love the look on the wolf's face and that possessive paw!
