I found this little guy on the reservoir near my camp. He came right up to the edge of the boat. He was with his family of 8.
I used a Canon 10D
Canon 100-400 IS lens zoomed in to 100mm
1/500 @ 5.6f
Good sharp focus on the eye. And yes, better framing would have yielded a better image. A bit darker with the mid tones would have helped too.
later and love, artie
