He looks as though he is about to say something, I wonder what happened next?

This is a very nice picture of a majestic animal, you've captured the expression well.

Hi Wolfgang,

Welcome to Trek N.
Excellent capture of the siverback, hope fully he allowed you more shots.

Mike

Nice shot. Good portret.

I am reading a book about portrets and they recon the trick is in the eyes. The eyes is what communicates to the viewer. You have captured the eyes well, it gives the shot personality.

Well captured and TFS

A very good first performance, Wolfgang.
Nice composition and point of view.

I wish you the most cordial welcome on TrekNature.
In the pleasure to admire your next posts and to read your notes and critics.
Thank you for sharing.

Great shot and great expression!
Wellcome to TN. A very good first post and the most important thing for me is that this is not from a Zoo!

Best regards, Petru
