Taken with Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L. And he's not actually dead or even injured, they are just picking the bugs off of him.

Very neat capture - like how they're putting their "heads together" to help out their prostrate friend! Good job, and congrats on a nice score for a free study entry!
Wow...this is such a wonderful and emotive capture. You can feel the true connection between. We're not that different, are we? Simply wonderful and IMHO, underrated. :)
Very moving. Postures just right AND they make a most pleasing composition. I like the processing, and even without the title, which is excellent, it evokes certain paintings of early operating theatres.
Fantastic capture! This is one of those photos that is what photography is about; capturing life. Centuries from now people can look back at this photo and learn from it.
I wish there was more light in the shadows, but that's life, heh.
Strange. I wonder what is going on? Really engaging image that causes the observer to stop and look (or at least they should!) I love seeing interactive animal shots. Makes you realize they aren't that much different from us.
