Wow, what a great moment, and capture!
The jackal is at some angle, leaning away from the vulture, which looks huge by the way!! :wow:

This is such an awesome photo. It's so intense with the vulture lifted just off the ground and the jackal dodging aside. Well done! :highfive:

holy cow, honestly I am just stunned....this is a total cover shot for NG, as trite as that may sound, but the reality is, it is....one of the most amazing shots I have honestly seen in a VERY long time!
