Well following the 'theme' of low level, here is one from shot under the jeep, a location I quite like, LOL. Sadly this falls into a similar camp to young Morkel's image comment. All lined up, plenty of room around (with the 500mm) and just before you hit the trigger the subject moves, even closer, hence the clipped hairs above and very little FG below. I will also like to raise a very valid point that Russell made too, and that is for any low level shot you do need more FG below to give the viewer the picture and to understand where this was shot.
Taken around 4.39pm

Except for the tightness in the frame, I like the image. I think the side lighting adds definition. The sharpness on the face is great since this is the most interesting part of this beast.
Would have loved the entire mane in - but so would you...


DOH!
