This is not cropped, actually. I’m really proud of this one because I really clicked with the animal and found a way to utilize its curiosity to get a good pose without scaring it away. It very much wanted to keep me in sight. If I backed up a bit, it came out of its den looking for me. If I moved too close, it ducked back in. It was like a weird cross-species game of the hokey pokey. And that’s what it’s all about.
