Rules are made to be broken

In the wind shelter on Chiquita Peak, a marmot pauses to decide if he should interrupt my lunch. When shooting wildlife, especially wildlife that sneaks up on you, sometimes you break the rule of thirds in order to preserve the shot.

    Agreed! I'm amazed you got the shot and even more amazed you know what this critter is!

    He looks like a sneaky little marmot - looks like he wants lunch too! Incredible catch, I can't believe you were not thinking of the rule of thirds LOL
