I like this, but more for the subject than the photographic value.
Bright leaf behind the vole catches the eye as does the bright oof twig in the foreground below its throat that's spoiling the reflection a bit.

Hi Phillip

Nice shot in great light - BG a little busy, that said still looks good!

I think the busy background works quite well here as it shows the environment. I like the reflection too :toast:

no complaints from me. Just wish I could see one of these as well as this, let alone photograph it.
