Great pose and POV, as said certainly different,works for me too. Minor nit , there is a small brown circular patch to the lhs of the image next to the voles cheek .

A different POV, which certainly works for me. The subject is quite BIF as well, excellent. :smile: :wink:

that's really nice and, as others have said, different to the norm. I agree about removing the small brown patch but otherwise a very nice image.

I would never have noticed that brown patch if others had not pointed it out. A great shot.

Like it a lot. As others have said, a different type of vole image and one which stands out.

Glad you got the shot you were after. Lovely BG but would remove the spot if it were me. Its good to get a shot of these in a different posture. Really nice detail on the face. :smile: :wavey:

different and unusual image of a WV, lots of detail and nice too see the teeth, the brown spot does not detract from the image at all

cheers
