At 400mm guess you didn't have to worry about him rushing you...but he does have a certain look in those gorgeous eyes that would make me stop and pause... :) Fantastic capture, Becky - wonderful treatment - how wonderful to see a magnificent animal such as this exactly where he belongs - free, in the wild.
