Are you sure you haven't posted your avatar Jeff? :biggrin: Bit small to appreciate. Any chance of posting a larger version? 720 longest side is preferred. :toast:

It is a nice shot Jeff, cropped a bit close for my personal taste and, as Graeme says, rather too small to fully appreciate. A larger version would be appreciated.

Jeff

I’m really sorry, but it is too small for me to be able to comment on constructively, but I do think you have a really nice shot which I would like to see reposted.

I seem to remember a post by Phil Hurt, titled “Workflow for Web Posting”, or something like that, on this forum, which might be of help for you. Any trouble contact me and I’ll see what I can find.

That's much better, Jeff. Very nicely exposed - those blacks and whites can be a problem when using flash. Personally I would prefer to see either the whole animal in the frame, or an even closer crop on the face. I have never photographed a wild badger, so either way it is better than anything I have.

Agree with David, well exposed Jeff and good stuff for getting some shots - an animal I don't recall even seeing in the wild (apart from honey badgers in Africa). Would prefer to see the feet, but a minor point :smile:

Lovely shot. A very clean little character. You've got the exposure spot on, Would have liked to have seen the feet too.

That's better !
Difficult to get the head up in my experience. Just scared two off my lawn in front of the kitchen as they pinch the Fox food . !
