So aware of my shutter

that she stopped drinking and just stared up. The other visitors had cell phones, so I stood out like a sore thumb.

I had to maneuver my lens between 2 sets of fence which was quite tricky as the water basin was right next to the fence. I only took one more shot of her and moved on.

Brilliant capture - focus and emotion. I realise too how we stand out with our heavy cameras amongst 100s with their cell phones!

Great shot! She looks like she’s about to pounce

Even in captivity her survival instincts are in tact. She could run at a moment’s notice.
