This Spotted Hyena was standing next to the road in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier park early one morning as if he was waiting for me to take his photo.

Thank you for your visit.

Regards,
BEn

Great contrast and very nice detail. good pov also

Hi Ben! Love the monochromatic tone and detail. I could see the ticks! Ewww! Good framing and focus. TFS,
Freddie :)

Now I just wonder, Ben, if all Hyena's sound like Whoopie Goldberg (in the 'Lion King') - great capture! I appreciate the fact these are taken in the wild, not Zoo animals. I tried getting coyotes here, but they are too vily.
Cheers
Otto

Yeeeehaaa BEn is back :-)

Lovely lovely capture, hes looking right into your lens isnt he, now are you sure you didnt bribe him for this one. Stunning capture here and I love the colour and tones. DOF just right too

TFS have a great day, kind regards Helen

Hi Ben, it's a beautiful picture, in great surroundings with a good note - BUT I don't like Hyena's - why? can't really tell.
TFS anyway,
Els
:)tomorrow

hello!fantastic shot of this hyena!excellent capture!Thanks for sharing!
greetings AGa

Vir die pragtige houding moet ons hom 10 uit 10 gee want hulle is gewoonlik kop onderstebo aan die soek na iets op die grond. miskien 'n spoor. Wat 'n wonderlike foto. Jy kan regtig trots wees op jou werk. Jy mag maar fotografie be-oefen.
Groete

Beautiful capture, Ben !
Really he seems to have been waiting for you ... nice of him :)

Hi Ben.

Your ground based POV really adds to this shot.The pose is perfect,as is your DOF.I may have cropped a little off of the left side,but only a fraction.

TFS,Aqueous.

Hui Ben,

WOW!! A fantastic photo of this Hyena in its natural habitat!! Great details and sharpness! I'd like to see more... :))

Well done

Great Ben!
Nice POV and pose. I love the tones and the tightness of the crop. Great expression.
well done,
Shelby

Hi there!
A great shot of this fierce scavenger!
I like the superb detail on him(her?), especially the face. Lovely typical "bush" colours too!
Well done!

Very nice pose and nice shot on this Hyena! I would imagine they don't stay still long! You did a great job with this Ben!
Linda
B-)

Lol Ben!
I'm sure that it was waiting for you! :) Those animals are so special... It must be something to see them in the wild. This is a nice capture with good details, exposure and nice tones of colors. This is a good composition too. Thanks!
