Nice picture Jay but the rules state that you must include the EXIF Data.

Shot taken on Saturday 20th August - walking in woods by Derwent Water to be taken by surprise by the beautiful sight of a Deer standing a few feet away. I quickly grabbed by partners camera and took a few shots befor she got sick of being a model and walked away... where was my camera - I hear you ask.... In the car because stupid me left the XD Card in my lap top at home - doh! Capturing this image did make up for my strop of been camera-less in the beautiful lakes)

Here is my three entries. All genuinely wild. The EXIF data for the heron and stag fib slightly about focus length, I use a zoom converter which almost doubles the zoom on my HS10 (1.7x) so I wasnt really that close to them. That wee mouse wasnt bothered by our cameras at all, even the flash didnt spook him. he scampered away whenever he heard a jogger or dogwalker coming along the path but came back to pose for us when they had passed.
