I was hiding behind a fence post, and he was hiding behind another. He jumped from post to post and kept peeking to check me out. I got within 6 feet! Just a bit of fun really!

What a wonderful story and the picture is quite comical too and I rather like it in spite of all the wire fencing.

Great stuff Ian and a nice story behind the image.

Hi Ian,
What a great shot and a great story. It certainly has an inquisative look on its face. I do think the image could with lifting a little, as posted it looks a bit dark.
Rob - you're right, it is very dark. I've brightened it a bit on this one

Hi Ian,
Hope you don't mind but had a play!! Adjusted levels sliders until it looked OK, also a bit more exposure, but blew the white on the head so zoomed in and tried to save it with the burn tool. +4 contrast, +8 saturation. and a couple of rounds of USM at rates 100, 0.2, 0.
