A hyena carrying away part of a kill

What a super shot (not supper). Nice composition and placement of the subject, lots of room to move ahead. It does tell a story about nature that we need to understand.

The other thing that caught my attention and interest is the geometry of the shot. I see all kinds of triagles. The legs form triangles, the ears for triangles, and the ankle bone of the prey also forms a triangle. Well done and a pleasure viewing.

One thing is for sure, and two things is for certain is that this hyena is going to have a great lunch from the look of what is hanging out of his mouth. This is the food cycle in the wild, you caught nature as you would see it in the book or documentary. Good work, thank you for sharing! Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn


This is a very powerful visual that you presented here. These animals live in a world where if they don't eat, they starve they die. You are right it can be brutal, but it is the only way they can survive. Thank you for sharing.

Yes. Animals hunt and kill only when they are hungry. But man ????????????. The less said, the better.
This is a nice-looking shot! The framing, light, shadows, and colours all come together perfectly. Nice effort!
