water vole 2
another from the vole site, are the bare stalks in front too bright?

i also wondered if the angle looks as steep as it was?

350D + 1.4 extender + 300mmF4L
1/125 @ F5.6
ISO 400
full frame

a very intimate shot, I like it. The stalk on the left could perhaps do with darkening or cloning and the ones on the right to a lesser extent.

A very nice portrait though.

This is a lovely shot, but the oof twig is a bit of a distraction.

Cheers,

Hello Jack.

Nice shot. For me the stalks are to bright, but the vole is lovely. :wavey:

Hi Jack,

For me a stunning shot, showing this little fella in his environment.

Nice work

It's a lovely shot, but the fg does distract for me. So hard to get small stuff with nothing in front, you wouldn't notice any of it in front of a hare or a fox. :toast: :toast: Eric

Love the angle you have chosen however i would clone out the "hot" stalks in the foreground.

Hi Jack,

Nice point of view and the subject is great. The foreground is a little distracting but what could you do? I'd darken it apose to cloning - just my opinion mind, as I like the environment.
