Chasing around this fella wasn't easy. Apparently she was rushing to wherever she was going with the corpse in her jaws.
Photo was taken using a D60 and a Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 with a macro converter attached. An SB-600 flash was fired to freeze the movement and some editing was done in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
