Marmots

Pair of Marmots close to the Grossglockner high Alpine road in Austria, one munching on a morsel of something, a biscuit (cookie) or a piece of bread left behind by a tourist maybe. Nikon F301 hand held f/6, 125sec, ISO 80.  Focal length 12mm. Comments and suggestions welcome, thanks for looking.

Interesting image, don't get many European marmots on NPN!  I do wish this image was sharper.  What were your light conditions?  80 ISO is fairly low for capturing active critters without good light.

John, thanks for your comments. This was taken some time ago but as far as I can remember it would have been mid afternoon on a partially cloudy day. I agree about the ISO but at that time and on that camera it was something I was not familiar with, I'm learning.
