    I love this image. The detail from the eyes to the claws is wonderful, i love the mud splashing I love the diagonal background lines and most of all I love the expression on the bears face. Well done

    Dale - agree with the others, incredible detail from the flying mud to the claws. I wouldn't want to get in its escape path .

    TFS,

    Yup, agree with all said; you nailed it perfectly!

    PS: anyone have either shots of the boar, or both the chassor and chasee?

    Robert,
    Beautiful shot! Love the debris flying everywhere and picture clarity. Even at 500mm it still looks like he was a bit too close for my liking.

    Take care,

    Steve
