A few eagles and ravens were feasting on the elk dinner when the coyotes and wolf were not around. 100% crops from a K20D. I definitely need a little more than 300mm.

Steve, it is a scene very rarely seen; that you have tried to capture. I find myself distracted by the
other elements of the composition to focus on the subject. As you correctly suggest, maybe a 300mm
would have isolated the theme better.

Well seen.

Thanks Fahim for your comment. I actually shot these at 300mm but the subjects were 400m away. Still I was happy to capture some of the action around this wolf kill. Pentax made a 250-600mm zoom for awhile and that would be perfect for this kind of photography as long as you could find someone to carry it for you.
