This was with the E-1 (the ancient beast isn't dead yet!) and the 300/2.8 @f4, ISO 400, 1/1000s

Hi Andy,

The pose and composition are great, and as it stands it is a fantastic image, the problem I have is that I associate the species with woodland/forest habitat, thats not a nit btw, just an observation...

Thanks, Phil. It would be nice to see these in their natural habitat - not something I'm likely to be able to do any time soon!
