I deliberately want this shot without the front paws. For me its all about the 'classic' head angle (looking down with the dog like face), the detail, but mainly the texture of the fur. In addition I found photographing these 'guys', if the light isn't right, the eyes can look like empty eye socks, very haunting!!!! Shot on foot, lying on the ground, nice to be able to get in amongst them, especially when they all set off to forage.

Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.

Nice perspective, and as you say, classic pose very well captured Steve. Sweet detail and light.
