Zhoen, perhaps it's good they have those fearsome teeth so they don't get stroked to death? ;^)
Anne-Marie, not as close as this looks — a big lens certainly helps. Actually, I was more concerned about disturbing her rest than any risk to myself — another reason for using telephoto lenses. And I agree: she's beautiful.
I esteem your work, you know I do, but this is stunning, and rare, and goes beyond your already wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteA truly wonderful study of texture, and of colour.
ReplyDelete(Where is that book?)
I can see a bit of ear.
ReplyDeleteAnother photo that begs to be touched, but the real subject would object with teeth to back it up.
I'm still amazed you managed to get so close to her.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Zhoen about wanting to touch. I am fascinated by the texture of her coat.
She is a beauty.
Barbara, thank you. That's a great honour.
ReplyDeleteThank you RR. The book is still alive :^)
