Wildlife up close and personal

Very seldom can wildlife photographers use a wide angle lens to shoot animals.  But in the Jugokudani Monkey Park in Japan they come so close to you that you can produce a very unique picture, indeed. I took this shot of a mother and her young with a 14mm lens.  I was only inches from them as they enjoyed the 107 degree warmth of the hot springs in the dead of winter.  I raised the ISO to 800 in order to use a fast enough shutter speed to freeze any movement as well as an f/9 lens aperture to give me a reasonable amount of depth of field.  Fortunately, the sky was overcast so I wasn't fighting harsh contrast.
