Wild Boar part II
This big boar stould beside this tree for a few minutes. Just looking at us. You never know what they are thinking and males are not that dangerous over here. Most incidents happen with the female when they have there young in the first few weeks. So nothing to be afraid of :biggrin:

iso 320 1/30 sec. F4

I think he's after your camera kit Edwin, & he's dribbling :biggrin:

Great close up with loads of detail but a little unsure about the defused tree. You said they are not dangerous over there :eek: would you of walked to him with a macro lens? lol.

Keep em coming :toast: :toast:

Hi Edwin,

This is great! Wished we had them over here! Mind you I think I’d be in the minority though! Shame!

Anyhow the first thing that sprung to mind when I looked at this was…

…Aye, aye what’s going on here then!!! :biggrin:

Great butch looking animal Edwin. Can just imagine the panic if he made a dash for you.
Think if you were to totally blur that diffused area. it would then not be such a distraction.

Thats one mean looking beast - wouldn't want to bump into him in a dark alley late at night :eek:

Quite like this, I think the blurred out area makes it interesting, however part of me wishes it wasn't there.

Can't make my mind up about this one with the blurred bit, but the boar itself look good :smile:

Great shot Ed and a great experience.

Not sure on your tactics in throwing a little english man to him to see what he would do :biggrin:
