Thank you Tammy, Gord, Alan, RJ, John, Monnie, Tiia, Marijana and Jill for your kind remarks! I need to clarify that this image was captured at the Triple D Game Farm near Kalispell, Montana in a controlled environment. I never (at least never try) to place myself in a dangerous situation with animals. I use big telephotos (500 - 750 mm), stay close to a place of safety (my vehicle, etc) or shoot within a controlled environment. The animals get to go home and I do too (safe and sound; never as a statistic). Michael #9917254

Oh Michael, I am in awe...I don't care if you didn't capture this in the "wild", it truly is AWESOME! I love it! Often times when I am hiking I sometimes think there are eyes on me that aren't coming from humans...of course that could mean a ground squirrel, but I think you know what I mean...TeeHee
FANTASTIC! #9920378
