This one is taken about last year and it is still my personal favourite. It was taken at Kowloon Park in the late afternoon in a pond surround by fences. I extended my lens through the fense to take it one. I still feel a little sorry for I was disturbing its sleep.

I imagine you can almost see your reflection in his eye. Excellent.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I guess I just hit the jackport/lottery/mark six on this one. I think if I keep trying, the thunder may hit the same place twice one day. :)
