Feeling lucky today?
Thought I would post something away from the norm! Just like the facial expression. I think we can all think of a title for this one :biggrin:

Early morning in the Mara.

MKIII 500f4 1/2000 f4 ISO400

Hey Stevo!!! I know this one :biggrin: :biggrin:

Love the side-ways eye contact :toast: :toast:

Only teeney nit for me is the 'virtual' feet are a bit tight at the bottom of the frame.

Hi Steve,

Very nice, I like this. I agree that if the subject was just a little higher in the frame it would have been a fraction better!

A very good image improved hugely by the eye contact

All the best

"Hmm, not sure if that guy with the big lens might not be easier to catch."
The look really takes this shot up a level. Great capture.

Hello Stephen.

Lovely shot in a great setting, the eye contact is superb. It reminds me of the look I got when I turned up with the Sigmonster. :wavey:

Stephen,

My nits have been covered but I have to say that facial expression (especially the eye) more than makes up for it! I just love the implied story they tell. Nicely seen.

Thanks for sharing
