Excellent sequence / series of shots Nikola ... a couple of Qs - are these crops and did you take any (side views) with a bit of fill flash at all?

Close call, but #3'd probably get my vote

Very interesting series Nikola. I really like pic2 - it's a stunning action shot from an unusual angle with really terrific levels, colour and detail on the prey particularly.

It is making my neck itch just looking at them.

very beautiful Nikola. I shiver when I look at Pic #3 with the little guys` arms in the air.

Excellent photos..... #2 is tops.

Got to agree with the gang there Nikola, fantastic shots. I especially like the last one where the larger is going for the throat.

Excellent.
The 2nd photo, which I like most, could have been in company of a similar photo from a bit further away, to give that tiny bit more dof.

Thanks folks!

The photographs were taken between 15:07 and 15:20 o'clock (24 hours system). It means about 13 minutes of shoting, so I have 406 pics of this scene. But very few of them are useful. Very difficult conditions, deep in shadow, pines and brambles. I came out with scratches all over.

Pic #3 is a full frame (3888×2592), #1 crop (3250×2165) and #2 is actually a vertical crop from horizontal photo.

All hand held, no flash.
