I love this shot. The composition is perfect, showing both a closeup, as well as the full body and even some background. 4.3mm focal length, how did you do that? Posted 8 years ago

  Hmmm I'm not sure how the conversion works (this was taken with a point and shoot), but it's a 24 mm equivalent. Posted 8 years ago

Beautiful record of this species, but not only... even greater the 'out-focus' that is seen, the block of limestone, and the man made limestone wall, that provide a great shelter, and a great hunting territory when needed, and a scarce but also present, in therms of plants or vegetation. After that, well, there's the main character, in a wild situation, beautifully exposed ;) And so close... well ;) Love it* Cheers Posted 8 years ago, modified 8 years ago
