This little fellow was camera friendly on day near the Rocky Mountain Front. The problem that plagued us was that we couldn't keep him 15 feet away so our camera lenses had problems focusing!

Just lovely.

The DoF separation from the background works especially well here.

Thanks.

Jaime,

This is a delightful picture. I hope you might make a special series for kids from your pictures of young animals. You must have quite a collection by now. This would be wonderful for a child's room.

Very nice, Jaime - agree with the comments above, although the background seems fine to me.

P.S. You're likely aware of this, but you can use Extension Tubes (I use Kenko's) to reduce the minimum focusing distance to minimize or eliminate the problem you talk about when your subject is closer than you'd want. You do lost focus at infinity when they're on, but will enable closer focus than your lenses would normally allow.

Thanks Don - I bought a set of Kenkos - need to use them now! ; )

Another very nice image Jaime. I'm of two minds when thinking about long lenses. I enjoy your images with the 500L but it's hard to zoom with your feet when using it. For awhile Pentax built the FA* 250-600mm f/5.6. I've seen some great images taken with this lens too. I'd love to have one but the last one on eekBay had a starting bid of $8000. Yikes!

What a lovely picture. It's actually a very gentle image and, to me, that sets it apart from a lot of wildlife photography I see. I like the way the background is rendered, and particularly the blue sky that anchors it nicely.

Thanks

Mike.
