Young Pine Marten
I am not allowed to play out at the moment as my wife has said she would like too see me for a few weeks :rolleyes: although I think she has started to have enough of me already as she has just put all my cloths in my bag :biggrin: Anyway just catching up with some processing and this one popped up. Fantastic Mammal to see at close quarters and I loved every minute of it.

Canon 1DS MK11, 500mm Lens, 1/80, F4, ISO 200

funny how shots like this never pop up when I'm post processing :biggrin:

an excellent shot Danny, the soft lighting really brings out the detail in the eye and the fur. The green moss may be a little bright but what a great encounter this must have been.

Just look at the expression on its face and that rich background. Fantastic picture, Danny, of a special mammal.
