This is probably one of the pictures that I am most proud of from the trip. It took me forever to decide between color or black and white but I like the black and white. I'm not 100% sure why.

 

To get this shot, I had to prefocus manually, then hang my camera out of the car window upside down on a monopod. The 300mm lens made avoiding lens shake quite difficult. However, I managed to snap a few good ones off with a trigger that I had attached to the camera.

 

I feel that the eye level perspective gives a better understanding of this amazing creature. I hope you enjoy seeing this as much as I do.
