Super head shot Edwin, wish you had upped the ISO so that you could have stopped down a little more as the snout is not quite within the DoF... super animals and understand why you enjoy time with them, looking forward to more...

Thanks Phil,

I know what you mean but I like using F4. I just want the eye in focus and I don't really care about the rest in this shot. But I can understand your view on this one.

lovely portrait, the eye looking into the camera and muddy snout and tusks gives it a delightfuly menacing air, cracking shot Edwin
