Very well captured through glass Wil. He really looks fascinated by the grass it's holding. Such a sad history of what can happen to these beautiful animals.Thank you for sharing with us.

It is too sad that these so interesting creatures are being threatened in such a way. The people who kill them should be punished severerly! People just don't realize how they are destroying our environment just for their thrill and vanity. This one looks so precious and the pose you have captured him in is just great! You have done a wonderful job of framing him as well. Thank you for telling about them and what is happening.

Great capture Wil. I like the setting which adds flavor, color to the rest of the image. The wooden post on the left is an example of what I'm talking about. Your commentary was very informative. I went away educated. Thks for posting.
