I took this shot in Assam, India, using natural light. It was taken at 1/10th of a second and hand held, so I didn't hold out much hope. (I'd left my tripod in the river cruise vessel). But I think it turned out fine. Camera was a K10D and the lens was a Sigma 70-300mm @ 120mm. ISO was 100.

Amazing texture on the skin... and handheld, too! Great work.

Hand-held, ISO 100 and only natural light! Way to go Darius - take a bow pal.

Incredible Portrait given any circumstances well done indeed.
