Great unique, interaction capture, Mark! Excellent IQ and details, and you managed the bright light very well. Wishing for just a bit more room all around if you have it. Nice work!

Beautiful behaviour shot full of action and drama! Would like to see a bit more room at the top and wonder why you chose such open aperture with so much available light? For me this is the kind of wildlife images I would like to see. Straight forward beautiful and moving imaging capturing nature as it is. Not trying to be "clever", "unique", "out of the box", "artistic" and all this nonsense. Very well done!!

Great behavioural image here Mark, well captured with the lighting well handled. Would wish for a tad more room above.

Hi Mark, good detail and clarity and I like the pose and intimate content.
Just needs a little more room to let the subject breathe.

Beautiful moment captured Mark, nice detail and light conditions well handled. I like the composition as it focuses attention on bonding interaction and the vulnerability of the lamb.

Hi all,
Thank you for all your comments, they are all appreciated. I also would have liked more space all around, especially on the top, however there was no cropping on this image as it was full frame.
It was taken with a 500mm f4 lens and now I would most likely take this image again with the D3s and the 200-400f4 combo. All I can say is that when driving a landcruiser and taking photo's simultaneously, choice can be limited at times.
Best wishes and thanks for all the comments.

Mark,
I could not disagree with this comment, but driving yourself and finding the sighting yourself is such a pleasure

Very nice. Really like the interaction. Like the fact you can see some of the umbilical cord, helps show the viewer what is going on.

Big congrats on this top class image

Hi Mark,
Cute subject and I like the comp with the nice curving line of the mum's neck leading right to the fawn. Well done.
