I used a slow shutter speed and panning technique on this one to separate the African wild dog a bit from the distracting background. Interesting fact about African wild dogs — they are among the most successful hunters in Africa, with pack hunting success rates often exceeding 80% — far higher than lions or hyenas. Photographed in a private concession of Chobe National Park in Botswana. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 400, f/10 at 1/25th of a second.

Awesome result with the slow shutter speed + panning. Will file that strategy for future reference. Thanks, Sean!
