Your best animal shots!

Remarkable shot. The intensity of that stare is what stands out to me. And of course the fact that you nailed the focus. Well done and thanks for sharing.

This is not as good as most of the pics I see here but I don't use any post pic processing. What I get is what I get. This sucker stung me 3 times, killed it, then photographed using UV light.

Hi Labdoc!

Interesting pic, esp. because of the UV light.
I can understand, that you killed that scorpion after it stung you.
I would have been happier if you could have avoided that.
But that's me, living in Germany, having just one rare species living here.
In countries where they are so many to be called vermin the point of view differs of course.

PS.: I hope you are well and didn't suffer from the stings.

I would have let it go but it was in my pants at the time. Very glad it only stung me on the leg and avoided the sensitive parts.

I think I now have more understanding for the fact that you killed it. Phew......
Cheers Brian

Not necessarily my best but one of my latest. Very pleased with ISO qualities of the 5DSR (even though I've had inconsistent focussing issues) and when combined with a 800mm f5.6 I was pretty surprised at the outcome with shutter speed of 1/80th at ISO 3200 resting on my knee as I lay across the seat of the landrover. (picture taken in dark canopy shrouded Sri Lankan rain forest on overcast day).

Lovely Image Gary, probably the first time I've seen an Image just like this, as Click said, wonderful timing.
