Fearsome Encounter

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 11 May 2009 in Animal & Insect.

Face to face with the raw, awesome power of the animal kingdom.

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

The poor little one seems to be so scared. Fine capture.

@Standley: Thanks Richard. They must look like huge creatures to a baby!

Laurie from New Jersey, United States

Awww...poor thing. She looks terrified. Great composition. Very emotional. I like how the mom is trying to comfort her.
