I was blessed to witness and photograph this moment. 5D3 at 700mm, handheld (yeah..my arms were getting really tired after 300 frames).

PS: Natural prey, not baited.

Terrific captures! The first thing that occurred to me was how fat, or fluffy, his legs are.

Awesome capture, fantastic detail. If I keep seeing killer shots like this from the 5D3 I'll be bankrupt.
