Wheres all the details Marek?
Are you close? If so, you have done well with a normally shy species. :toast:

Hi Marek, echo Major's comment and would suggest you try and increase the DOF to make more of the animal and its head. The current focus seems to be around the eye, where it should be, but as it is not 'side-on' it loses some impact. However, I enjoy every encounter with these animals and many thanks for sharing yours.

Kind regards,

Brett :toast: :toast:
