Tucking in...
So this is one of the two cubs we found on the beach, late afternoon where Mum was allowing them to feed on the last knockings of this Walrus carcass. Unclear as to whether the Walrus died of natural causes, but judging by the size I would think it was killed by a PB. Shooting from a 'bobbing' zodiac with a 500 was less than idea and if we knew we would have got this close the 100-400 would have been the better choice of lens. In addition thinking we might be shooting from a distance I took the 5D4 for cropping, but as it turned out, all good and at ISO5000 the files were awesome, albeit not having the fast SS rate of the 1DX MK2.
OK so no eyes, but...
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.
