Caesar is a majestic buzzard that comes to drink almost daily at a waterhole in the Kempen woods (Belgium).
To see him, you leave early. You take cover in a half-buried hut on the other side of the water hole.
What is special about this photo is that as a photographer you are standing at eye level with the animal. And here Caesar is looking straight into the lens.
A unique photo that allows you and your guests at home to come face to face with a bird of prey in the wild.
I gave him his name 'Caesar' because he has such an imperial look.
The photo was taken with a 500mm lens. Photographer and animal stood respectfully about 40 feet apart.
