another nice water vole shot (I loved the other one) again helped by the reflection. I've also photographed these voles and keep meaning to pay a return visit.

Hello Andrew.

Nice, and I like the way we have that reflection just as he is coming out of his hole. Good capture. :wavey:

Everthing's just about perfect in this image, the pose, reflections and the sunlight on the vole.

Hi Andy,

This is very nice. I think it's your best one yet! Nice composition, colours, details and cracking reflection. Most of all the background does look busy therefore it really helps make this a very nice image! Nice catchlight it's eye too!

That's great. There seems to be some motion blur but I think you will have another go :biggrin:
Please, keep them comming.

Great shot!
Agree with Edwin on the motion blur, but it's a lovely species to get in front of your lens!

Thanks for the comments guys , there could be a little motion blur as I only shot it at 1/25th.

Another beauty. Not surprised that there is a slight blur at that speed. Anything under 100th and all mine look like panned shots!
