    A collision decision

    I slammed my brakes,thinking that there will be a collision for sure,grabbed the nikon d50, quickly with lightning speed snapped the before shots,but the aftermath was avoided, with pin point decsion, and the whole mishap avoided.

    These are good shots. I like the first one but thats because I like that kind of composition. Where did you get these?

    these were taken way out in the boonies,while hunting treasures, i was heading to my third treasure find when i captured this one, somewhere near teulon, deep in the bush i pasted a genuine standing teepee, but i was going to fast to stop.

    Re: A collision decision

    Nice catches.

    I think you are too far away from the animals in the first image and although I like the crop of the second shot too much detail is lost by the tight crop.

    Alas, there is a reason wildlife photographers take all that time to set up and use long prime lenses........
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: A collision decision

    The first image works well, really like the trees in the distance and the overall contrast and I am not bothered that you are some distance from the animals. What is distracting me however is the fence or similar that is running along the bottom of the frame, could be easily removed.
