Cheeky pine marten.
This young marten was so quick up and down this alder tree, it was almost impossible to get anything but eventually, it stopped, just for a moment.

Canon 1dIIn, 500mm, ISO200

One moment is all it takes. You've caught him perfectly! Focusing must have been a nightmare - manual or auto?

I agree with Mark about a portrait but a lovely image. Really sharp eye and nose. I want one of these. They are so cute. :jump: :smile:

it would be interesting to see in portrait but still works very nicely as it is. Well taken Peter.

Just brilliant. Love the expression.

No doubt it will get cropped to portrait at some point but I like it as is.

Cheers

An excellent 'peekaboo' shot, whatever the orientation! Well caught :toast: :toast:

Really like this Peter, shows the animal in it's environment and the use of the trees to frame the shot works so very well. Good use of DOF to capture that great expression on such a charismatic species.
