Grumpy old fart
I named this one Grumpy because.....well look for yourself :biggrin:

Quite arrogant personality but I like him. Don't start about the virtual legs please........ :wavey: I was just trying to get this pretty face as big as possible in the frame.

iso 200 1/80 sec. F4 Nikon 600/4

Nah .... how about room for the virtual body :biggrin: .....

Seriously... I like this .... you have achieved what you wanted and produced a fine looking image... yours seem to be lighter than ours in the UK.

From the title I thought you had been taking pics of your fellow photographers.

I see you're upgrading your kit. First the D3, now a 600mm lens. You're certainly putting it to good use, I love the stare, and that is what this pic is all about, so anything else would distract from that. I really like it. :smile:

I like it just as much second time around Ed, you've achieved the shot perfectly :toast:

And just look at those neck muscles - holy moley :eek: :biggrin:

That threw me, Edwin - from the title I was expecting to see a picture of Danny! :biggrin: Soz, Danny!

Nice image - a different slant on this species.

Cheers,
Chris
