jackal at sunset

I felt so lucky to catch sight of this jackal crossing the red dirt road behind our vehicle

on the way back to camp at sunset. I had no idea at the time that it would be the only

jackal image captured by our group for the entire trip :) Also feel extremely lucky that

he stopped just long enough for me to grab this one shot! Thank you jackal.

Great shot!

Kristin... Glad you caught it, nice light and crisp detail... Mike

I was able to get more detail in the jackal's face by lifting shadows. Took away a little bit in color. Is it worth the trade-off?

Kristin... I like it because when the eyes are visible, they become (IMO) the soul of the portrait. The revised version brings out the eyes and accents the sharp and cunning nature of this Jackal... Mike
