Description
Taken in a conservation park I have just found last year close by where I live, which was quite surprising (as I hadn't known it was there), and lots of fun experimenting with the camera.
The grownups seem very mild mannered, but at one point I was actually rather scared I was going to be attacked by one of the babies. I did get a picture of it with bared teeth, but its out of focus as I was walking backwards at the time, making a hasty retreat, a bit freaky, shadowy fuzzy black shape with golden eyes and white fangs!
This is the baby that nearly attacked me, but mom grabbed him and calmed him down with a nice grooming. The baby though really seemed to not like the camera (or me).
Darkened the background to give more contrast and focus.
Shot with a Nikon D7100 using a 18-300 Nikkor lens.

Fantastic in B&W, Paul!

Thank you Angelika :-). actually would like to reprocess the original image but lost most of my images when I had to buy a new computer last year! I better go take some more :-) - though that baby REALLY didn't like its picture taken.
