Got this picture last week while shooting in a German zoo. I was focussing on the mom, waiting and hoping for a little action when this little baby walked it (lucky me).

I do love it when the image forms in your viewfinder! You’ve taken great advantage of the opportunity. Nicely cropped, and the DOF throws the background nicely out of focus. Well done.

Great capture. The expressions on each of them are fantastic.

Great catch! I haven't had time to get over to the Fauna forum in awhile, and I saw this on the editor's pick. Excellent catch of what must have been a very short moment.
