Venezuela's Beauty

[ingweDave]

During a business trip to Venezuela in December 2016, I was able to spend a few days in the Henri Pittier NP. It is such a shame that there are such terrible political problems within this country. It has stunning wildlife and hopefully one day will be able to utilise this for tourism.

Wide open, ISO 2000 and 1/200. You certainly had to work for your shot. Just wondering if you used any support? Nice images.
