Nice moment captured Praveen. Must have been a treat to be a part of the pack in the hunt :) . Do post other images from this series. The light seems to be a bit harsh.

Nice to see this rare moment of natural history again. You had captured it nicely. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing image.I am observing the eyes of the wild dog and just thinking why sometime a leopard prefers to climb up a tree when a pack is out for a kill .It is a rare moment in one's life to be an witness to such nature's drama taking place in a waterpool and documenting the same.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

I agree that watching a pack of dholes hunt is an interesting experience. Thanks for sharing once again. Wish you had your 500mm at that time.

Cheers,
