Anyone any tooth whitener?
This little fellow was posing nicely for the small price of an apple and some raisins (my Blackbirds won't be happy).

Not a good background I know but just shot in the environment.

C &C welcome

D80
Sigma 50-500
f8 1/80s
ISO 400

I think you have captured this really well. Love the pose, good comp with plenty of space to look into, nice and sharp - like it a lot :smile:

cheers

You're right about its teeth, Maggie, :smile: :wink: One of my favourite mammals a pity there are none in the brook at the end of our Close. I would like it BIF but that is my preference. :smile: A really, really nice image. Excellent.

Hi Maggie
very sharp where it needs to be, lovely pose but would prefer a bit more of the lower part of the vole, o/w excellent

Hi Maggie

I echo Paul's comments about the comp but the rest is spot on - lovely inquisitive expression too.

Thankfully, my teeth aren't quite as discoloured as this chaps, but I'd certainly give a couple of the high ones for an opportunity like this. :biggrin: Good stuff.

Cheers,
Chris

As above but you have captured the face spot on, nice shot.

Super capture Maggie and some very nice detail. A slightly different POV to capture the lower part of the vole or at least balance up the hole it's sitting in as mentioned but otherwise works for me. Good work.

Nits already covered, but still a very good shot.

Hello Maggie.

You have captured the Vole superbly and the detail is very nice.

The only comment I could have made as already been commented on.

Love the inquisitive pose. I also would have like to have seen more of the vole, that said still very nice!

Really nice Maggie, a great pose showing lots of character. Just that extra canvas needed at the bottom as already mentioned. :toast:

I think this is a lovely shot Maggie, it looks really natural and I have no problems at all with the background. Fabulous pose you have got! :toast:

Nice picture. Good pose. Maybe a little more grass in de front so the vole is really coming out of the grass.
Great shot.
