Gotcha
Hi all,

Not been around here much lately. Been away for a month. Tried my luck on wild boar and red deer today and got both. This female wild boar turned out to be a menace. Hard to get and always one step ahead of me. I stalked her through a pine forest. Just when she stopped in this wonderful light I pressed the shutter and off she went. Nearly dark so I gave in and went home.

iso 200 1/80 sec. f/4 full frame

Thats a beauty. The boar looks in really fine fettle. Well isolated against the tree.

Great image Edwin.
I feel the subjct could do to be that bit larger in the frame which would probably make the detail stand out better and increase the impact too. Just my personal.opinion - others will not agree. Great stuff though.
