I like the compostion, and I think that 'primal' is a good adjective

It seems to have two zones of sharp focus.
50mm, from aways away, and quite a crop. I don;t recall, as I don't
have the EFIX in front of me, but I think it was f8. After I got
home, I decided that I liked it tighter, not that I had much choice, I

you can add it.
