A Black backed jackal in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, doesn't get put of by a camera when nature calls.

I hope you can see the humour in this.

Thank you for your visit.

hello
nice action capture LOL :D
regards
jo

Yes, I see the humour in it !! :-)
It looks like the animal is crying or shouting with mouth wide open.
A very good capture, with good sharpness and color.
greetings,
Joop!

Weellll ... I see the humour but it's more explicit than it needed to be.

The pose itself and the moment captured is amusing ... the dropping object is just a bit much. ;

Rew

Yes,I can see the humour...it´s pose is really "interesting"...

Cheers,
Carla

Hiya YOUNG BEn

Now then my first instinct was to say its a *rap shot,but I thought better of it as it might be miss understood..I am sure you got the meaning though... I have spent all evening gazing at a purple screen and pulling my hair out... when I saw this I nearly wet myself laughing. It really is a good shot technically but the humour had me in stitches too.
Rare to see a natural jokey shot my friend. I am tempted to say you were in the right place at the right time there... but then again maybe not eh!

Jolly well done.....both to you and him!!

TFS regards Helen

Good timing; it doesn't look too happy.

¿Where are the animal´s rights people? ¿Don´t jacals deserve privacy too? Ha, ha, ha, I am glad I can not smell it from here. Very original.

Lol Ben! This is a true call of nature, they is no doubt about it ;))) This is what we call an action shot! I love the lightning in this picture very much. I wonder which shutter speed you used here as it seems a little blurred to me but it is definitively a great and unique shot! Congrats :)
Claudine

bonsoir!

c'est son expression qui est génial. c'est une photo bien comique! Merci de m'avoir fait sourire.

Félicitations.
Luci

This is a nice action shot. Well composed. TFS.

hello! this is funny moment to shot! excellent reflex!TFS
greetings Aga:)

Jy is darem waarlik 'n gelukkige man om so 'n foto te kan neem. Mens kan wonder of dit erg pynlik was en of hy al so lank gesukkel het dat hy van verveling gegaap het. Hierdie is verseker een uit 'n duisend en die wat dit sien en nie dink dit is oulik en vrek snaaks nie , weet verseker nie meer hoe om te lag nie. Klop jouself maar op die skouer vir die een. groetnis, Tillie

Is it a painful or an exciting moment???

Whatever it is, the composition of nature is fine here and the shooting is made with a good sense of humour. Warm afternoon sunlight with golden hue is wonderful. Well done Ben.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Hi Ben,
I can see funny shot here and very unique action captured. It looks like the jackal is crying or shouting with mouth wide open.
