Beautiful shot, MD - I like how you can just see the patterning through the black.

Thanks Dawn, Sam & Little Me
It was taken at Edinburgh Zoo, at the beginning of 2008.
It was shot through toughened safety glass too, so I was quite chuffed with how well it came out.
He was actually walking down a fallen tree trunk, and I thought I'd get the close up first, and then quickly re-frame for the wide shot showing the tree, but a split second after I took this shot, he jumped down from the tree, and disappeared out of sight, so I was really lucky to get him at all.

Thanks Azz,
You're right, this one is so much better than mine.
I must have screwed up the smaller resolution when I was saving it.
As you can see, I now have my new avatar

Zeb is a stunner lil'things!
No Probs MD (if you leave the system to resize they generally come out softer) hence always better to resize locally then upload
