IFC 08 Virginia Opossum

[D. Robert Franz]

Another image from my mammal portfolio from the IFC contest. This again was from my waterhole blind in which I spent endless hours in it seemed...

Canon Eos 40D, EF100-400, ISO 400, 1/200 @ F7.1. 4 flashes

When you come home with images like this it seems definitely worth it. I like the alert pose and exposure control.

[Sid Garige]

Excellent job considering complex setup.

This is just gorgeous! Very nicely lit....and that alert pose is really stunning. I've learned a lot during this pro-tour....and one of the things is that I needed to bring more flashes. Thanks for that lesson!

I really like the composition with the diagonal leading up from its tail to the head and the head on a power point.

Stunning image Robert! Your blind and your set-up with four flashes definitely paid off, super shot!

Nice shot! Like the alert stance. Looks like the wait was worth it.
