He looks much better than many of the urban foses that drop by my backyard for a bite to eat!

Early evening...Lighting
This was an overcast day...flat light.Equipment
Nikon D100 with a medium range zoom...no tripod since this was an unexpected encounter.Inspiration
Recognition that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity...Editing
Only a slight crop...In my camera bag
I just purchased a sling/backpack type, which handles two cameras and three lenses, plus the usual accessories. Other than for a commercial shoot (I have a special bag for that), I "normlly" would only load one camera along with two lenses. Every project calls for pre-planning. When you get old, lighten the load!Feedback
When encountering the unexpected, shoot like there is no tomorrow. When going outdoors, I always check the camera's ISO, then meter for "average" lighting to get an idea of shutter speed and aperture. In the case of the unexpected I at least know I'm in the "ballpark".
