In various places on the web I have heard people talk about photographer Jay Maisel referring to the importance of 'gesture'. You can watch a video of him talking about this here. He does not necessarily mean a physical gesture or movement, but an image that reveals something fundamental about its subject. Now my understanding of this concept is probably not quite right, but it makes me think of those - often split second - moments that can give a photograph that extra 'something', with the image above being an example of this. I hope this will be particularly of interest to beginners starting out in wildlife photography.
