Great job getting so close, and you got some perfect sharpness. He is sitting so calm and cool.

If you saw a man drowning and you could either save him or photograph the event...what lens would you use?

Great shot, Skip. Reminds me of that picture of Winston Churchill - another tough guy with soft eyes.

Good one, Skip. Perfectly exposed, great color and very sharp. Love the expression, too.

Thank you one and all for looking. I had to wait quite awhile for him to look my way but it was worth it.

You can drag 20 pounds of camera gear through 100 zoos over a 20 year period...
and one shot like that makes it all worth the effort!

Great shot, Skip! Thanks for sharing.
