Hi Ken
Great BG and composition. An animal I,ll never see in the wild.
Maybe brighten the head- but then I appreciate that wouldn't be how it looked at the time.
Cheers
John

Great pose n wonderful expressions!
We shoot what we get, in this case face in shade n body in sun light, would have preferred otherwise.

She is beautiful Ken. Your handling of the light and shadow here is excellent. The BG gives perspective on how secluded a spot this really is.

Super pose here Ken, a bit of bad luck with no light on the face but still a fine capture and sighting.

Thanks everybody, even without a better distribution of light I quite like this.

Hi Ken,
Great thing to see and you did a good job with what you were given. The only thing lacking is what has already been pointed out...how the light is distributed...would have been so nice if it was the head that was illuminated rather than the body. But...not a darned thing you could have done about that.
Cheers...
