Had a little surprise today

[LittleMike]

Thought I'd share what I stumbled onto today. I was hiking in Zion National Park, and ran into this guy in a picnic area near my car. Just to give an idea of how close I was, this was shot with a 24-105L lens on a 5DmkII. I cropped it to a 4x5 portrait (it was shot as a landscape), but I left it as large as possible. I was at most 20 feet from him!

This isn't really for C&C, just thought I'd share my experience from tonight

You're a brave dude! Nice shot!

Thanks! There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity, and I believe I almost found it

They are past the "rut", there really is little likelyhood that he would have charged you.

Nice shot, it is always fun to see the unexpected and actually be prepared to document it.
