Thanks all

I was terrified I might stand on this one and break it off! :eek: There's no doubt though that it's a memorable visit.

I was going to say it's a corker or a cracker but other people have beaten me to it!! Well done it is supercalifagilisticexpealidocious. Let's see anyone else use that!!!!!!!!! (Don't even ask if it is spelt correctly)

LOL Ian :smile: :smile: :smile:

I thinks it's almost becoming his signature, as it appeared in a well know Wildlife magazine this week in a DPS, (not on it's own I might add). Top man, Top location, Top animals!

Another fabulous image Ian. Personally I haven't seen the perch before but it appears to have some notoriey. Whatever its provenance it certainly suits the subject and the curves echo the curvaceous appearance of the models tail !

Nice image Ian. The squirrel's pose reveals it is paying you quite a bit of attention and maybe impacts on the overall feel of the shot - maybe it needs to be a tad more relaxed? Don't know. Lovely shot all the same.

Neil might be drumming up some more business at this rate - are you on a good commission? :biggrin: Nice to see some alternative images being generated from that neck of the woods.

Cheers,
Chris

Spot on Ian,


cannot fault it :toast:

Superb image and I like the perch as much as the detail in the Squirrel. Classic and well executed shot.

Brett :toast: :toast:

Ps. Squirrel look s a bit 'puffy' around the eye, I hope there's no sign of parapox in that area..

These are delightful and so photogenic Ian - a lovely image - perhaps a wee bit more USM.

Hello Ian.

Superb and just love the composition which fills the frame with just the right amount of space.
