It’s a nice clean capture of the Javelinas face Bill, the exposure has coped well with the “salt and pepper” there is still some detail on the shaded side of the face and even a catchlight in the eye.
The lens has allowed for the background to be out of focus and gives some separation from the animal even though they are pretty much the same colour.
And who doesn’t love a nice pink nose!
