Whats That I Smell ?- Watervole
Another watervole shot from the weekend, this watervole had climbed out of the water to feed, then jumped back,'Plop' I could'nt stop laughing, so endearing these animals are.

Youve done well to get that low POV on the Water Vole Craig.
Not the usual shot of these enduring mammals.
The first looks better as you seemed to have uped the contrast a little on the second. :toast:

The low viewpoint is superb. I am not sure which of the two versions I prefer, one is great and the other excellent, but I can't decide which is which!

Great shot, unusual to get one with a 'clean' background, and I like it!

Really like this Craig. The clean background, low viewpoint and pose make for a great image :toast:

I prefer the lighter post.

Hello Craig.

Very nice and the detail on the vole is great.

The first post is better, you only need to tone down the grasses at the bottom of the picture, the rest of the image is fine.

Good work.
