Hi guys, sorry but haven't been on for a while, so much going on at the moment.
At the weekend, fortunately for us, the park was closed but we still had access for the full day. The snow was up to our knees in places.
Hope you like the shot.

Lovely shot - Where is the petrol station?

I think it is buried in one of the snowdrifts

Very nice indeed but I'd lose the twig growing from it's bum!

Agree with Nigel about the twigs, cracking shot though.....
Nice work.

I was going to remove them but I wanted to keep the look of the wild, and I dont really like photoshopping my wildlife images too much. Oh and there was absolutely no way I was going in there to remove the branches
I do however agree that they can be a little distracting, they don't seem so bad on the image when its displayed full size. Hmmmm
Agree about the twig, but also understand not wanting to PS it out - ahh the age old quandaries of wildlife photography and the use of PS !!
Nice image, I personally would prefer without the twig but it's not biggy !!

I now completely agree with everyone about the twig (I think ) I will have a wee think about it. I have another to post but it will have to wait.
Thanks to everyone for their honest comments. I really appreciate them, its always good to get someone else's take on an image. All very much appreciated and I thank you all.

It's only the one twig I was refering to, top right coming out of the Tigers back. The rest look fine, should of made my comment a bit clear

I knew the twig you were on about, and to be honest your right - don't you just hate it when you have to admit that you were wrong
I have actually done an edit - not something I normally do on wildlife shots but on this occasion it just gives me a much better shot.
Once again thanks for all your honest input. It has been great, thank you.
