Ratty....
40D, 300/4 + 1.4, Handheld resting on trellis.
ISO400, 1/80th @ f8.
ACR5 + resize & sharpen CS4

Hi,

Snowed in yesterday, had to work from home and no way I could get the car out (I live on a steep hill that goes nowhere so not a lot of traffic to clear the snow.) so no snow images (dang)

Here is one from Saturday whilst out with a group of people... this cheeky chap/ess kept appearing under a set of feeders hidden from view by fences with a couple of trellis openings....

All the best

Phil

Hello Phil.

Totally love the setting to this one. Make for one of the nicest rat pictures I've seen.

A very nice and very different image Phil, unusual to see them in such a nice setting. :toast:

Would make a great PR image for a much maligned rodent.

Fantastic image Phil. The setting really makes the difference with this. I have one of these visiting my shed at the moment and keep meaning to try and get some photos of it but It's difficult to set things up without letting the Mrs know we have a rat !!
