Wow! It's stunning, how did you get this effect? A kind of natural frame blurred by the small depth of field?

Yes, long focal lenght (420 mm) + aperture 4.5. The animal was quite close and background relativelly distant.

The low perspective you used brings us right into the picture, and the spraying drops bring it to life. Great mother - young photo!

I do like the movement in this picture! All these drops of water make the photograph looks quite unusual!
I hope that the flood wasn't so harmful for you!
