Sorry Alan, I couldn’t resist posting my version of this shot. I hope you don’t mind.
I used a similar crop to yours because I think the way he is leaning works together with the glance.
BTW Thanks to everyone who was in the zoo on Saturday.
I haven’t been there in years and really enjoyed the morning.
Nice to put faces and voices to the names and photos.
Canon 400D, Sigma 70-300 APO DG MACRO, ISO 800, f5.0, 214 mm 1/250s
It was a good day and as you say nice to put faces to names. Must do it again sometime.
Alan.
[EDIT] Regarding posting a similar image Hauke…I don’t have exclusive rights to any subject. Yours came out better than mine so don’t let a posting of a similar subject hold you back…I’m just waiting for your version of the 2 headed rhino…and juniors daddy yawning…and all the rest.

I have to say, I won’t be able to beat your two headed rhino.
As I have said my shots seem to have an extra tail that throws it off somewhat :wink:
As to the yawing silver back:
I am currently debating with myself whether to PS away the poo on his upper lip or not :shock:
It makes him look so much less impresive if you know what it is :roll: :lol:
