Wild Boar
It was bloody fantastic having this Guy only a few feet away and I won't forget my encounter with this impressive beast. He only gave me a glance a couple of times as usually he would just have his head down feeding on some special treats put down for him. Big thanks to Ed for taking me to his secret place :cool:

Hello Rene

I was at first but now I think they add a little bit of depth to the image.

Nice shot Danny - good work at 1/30th too!

I never realised Wild Boar's ears were so furry!

You're enjoying that new body now aren't you? (I mean the camera not yours by the way :smile: )
Another great autumn image.

A fine looking beast well captured Danny, I'm still out on the OOF branch but the detail and clarity are great and you are now making think I might need to invest in some better glass for my camera..!

Kind regards,

Brett :biggrin: :toast: :toast: :wavey:
