No prizes for guessing what these two were up to! They looked so peaceful that I felt slightly guilty disturbing them, but they didn't seem to mind too much. Taken at Donna Nook on my trip with Jan last weekend. Tick Tech Talk: Samsung GX-10, Sigma 70-300mm lens at 150mm, Aperture mode, f/8.0, ISO 100, 1/250s.

They look so tender towards each other. Definitely not the sublime facial expressions I would have expected from these lovely animals, but how fortunate you were to be able to capture this through your lens. A wonderful story telling image, Nigel and quite excellently photographed.

It's so difficult to look at an image like this and not anthropomorphise isn't it? They look so peaceful and happy in each other's company. It's a gorgeous shot Nigel with just the right DOF and the lighting is perfect.

I believe I have found the perfect song for this lovely couple Sir Nigel. If they have ears, she will follow him anywhere. This is so clear. Does your lens have IS or something similiar?

Thanks for Nigels Needed Numbers.
