It's a shame about the grass stalks in front of her face -but I could hardly nip out of the vehicle to do a bit of gardening!

Come on Steve it would only have eaten you a little bit and you would have got wonderful close ups of its teeth! Powerful shot.....

I stood eye to eye with a black panther once in a park in Thailand. We both had a long look and the feline eventually decided that the safety of the forest was to be preferred to a confrontation with the Swede! I was too excited to lift my camera, pondering whether I should make a dash for the car or not...................impressive cats they are!

Don't worry about the grass stalks, your capture is breathtaking! -V-

No, I wouldn't get out there either. It's a beautiful shot, and I didn't even notice the grass stalks until I read your notes!
