First off, sorry for no posts last week. We just got our power back yesterday after Sandy dumped five feet of water into the lobby of our apartment building. It’s good to be back online. For today, just a simple portrait of a black-backed jackal. I was on the ground for this one, shooting at eye level, when the curious jackal approached to within twelve or so feet. The shallow depth of field and backlit lighting provided by the setting sun created a nice soft feel to the image.
You not only caught the jackel perfectly, you were there when the light was perfect. And we all know how fleeting that perfect light can be. I’ve never seen such a ‘handsome’ jackal. Glad to hear you have power back and to see you posting again!

Beautiful portrait of a deeply touching animal.
I am glad you are back in bus, none the worse for wear I hope.

Gorgeous
Beautiful light capture! Glad your power is back & that it was not worse!
It’s great to have you back! A pure diet of 100% political animals is more than I can take.
Good to have ya back, sir. Seeing the latest Crane Critter in the o’ inbox is a nice return to normalcy ’round here.
I completely concur with Mr. Collins. Nice to see you back online Sean. Love that back light. Nice work.
Sean, So sorry that you had to deal with Hurricane Sandy! Brutal – to say the least. Picture is spectacular!
