Hi John,

They do look grat, but are extremely difficult to photograph well. There is allway clutter around them. So you did well.

Cheers,
Marko

Only saw one 'hog snuffling around this year, and thinking about it, I haven't even seen that mean squashed on the road either.

Was it taken in dull/low/shadow light as the tones seem to be dark or bluish?
