it's a great pose you've captured Mike, particularly with the grass in its mouth. It looks a bit light on my monitor and would benefit from a bit more space on the left in my opinion.

Great expression on its face. :eek: :smile: I like them BIF. :wink:

Great capture. I'd agree about it seeming to be a bit light but no great problem. If you don't have any more space to the left then a slight crop from right wouldn't go amiss as with this type of 'in your face' subject a central crop works reasonably well.

Hi Mike,

I prefer the edit but its still a bit too light.

Excellent shot though :toast:
