In my quest to improve my wildlife shooting and processing I have found a great spot for wild boar. They seem to like searching for roots and fallen acorns along the forest tracks. Maybe not Mr Kats's standard but fun trying ;)

A great shot by anyone's standards Neil. I would be happy just to see one in the wild let alone get an image like this. Well captured. :toast: :toast:

I would have been more than happy to see this, let alone photographed it. However, I do think you could improve the impact with some adjustment to levels and constrast.

A great sighting Neil and I am sure we will see more of this species from yourself.

I think one without the tracks would improve this image.

Cheers

would love to see one of these a good looking shot

Cheers guys. The trick is getting a sharp shot, when the sun is IN and away from the track. 2 out of 3 and all that ;) I love Sunday mornings, would probably just watch if I had no camera.

Well done Neil. You've captured this young male well. Sharp, well composed, great colors and nice soft background. It's such fun photographing these animals.
