I have heard it said that images of cats and dogs are the low hanging fruit of photography. Okay for family or Facebook but a sure way to kill a portfolio collection.

On the other hand images of wild creatures lurking in the undergrowth, captured with stealth and guile are to be applauded.

As far as I am concerned I have captured just such a beast and was lucky to escape with my life. You be the judge!
