Wild boar in berries
I had this long planned wish to photograph wild boar in the berries. I also want to capture the boar in it's surrounding but this one came in to close. I zoomed out completely and this is all I could get. Quite pleased with it but not what I had in mind.

iso 200 1/20 sec. F5.6 full frame

Hello Ed

Very nice in a beautiful setting not seen anything like this before, I like the stark difference between the brown of the boar and the green of the bilberry.

That's a lot of bilberries Ed and a rather different Boar shot. I'm with Dan on the contrast - very appealing.

Intrigued to see 'what you had in mind' matey - hope you get it soon so we can all see :wink:

A lovely composition, certainly unusual, the Boar looks as though he has his eye on you! :smile: Like it very much

Agree about the colour contrast - like it a lot. Not seen a boar shot like this before.
