Had to manual focus. Z9 was struggling it was coming down so heavy.

I REALLY like this! The BG, trees covered in snow? just makes the model pop!
Thanks. I took a few closeups but I like how this one gives a bit more environment.
When I started wildlife photography in the day of slides, it was the in-thing to get in close-up and personal, up to the eye lashes or just part of a trunk or horn. I have done so many of those and tight cropping - still do, but also find that some in the environment images just speaks a bit more to me these days. I tend to shoot double images, or more, if the subject is not moving; say, one of the face, one the background behind or above it, maybe even the FG, and then merge them all in PS to get a composite image in the environment. It is nearly the same as shooting panos, but basically FG to BG, including the subject. There is a different magic in an environmental shot! I also do telephoto landscape-like shots to place the subjects in their environment.
Wonderful image! You handled the conditions perfectly!
Thanks Karen. The auto focus was struggling for sure on the longer shots. The good news is that he wasn't moving around a whole lot. Once I moved in to about 30ft it locked right on.
Wonderful capture and presentation. Beautiful presentation with framing.

Dandy photograph.
I love it Bill!
Really nice.
Thanks Dave, I'm hoping all the snow drives his buddies back down to the valley
Thanks so much
