The Perfect Shot

He crouches behind the bush and looks through the eyepiece at the majestic lion resting fifty feet away. After tracking this regal beast for hours across the savannah, he finally has a good position and clear line of sight. 

He focuses on his target, his eye laser-sharp, his finger poised and steady–ready to shoot before the animal shifts or moves out of range. His heart pounds, his pulse races. Steady now, steady. He holds his breath and squeezes.  

He looks at the monitor screen and smiles. Perfect! The most perfect camera shot a wildlife photographer could ever want.
