Hi everyone, While taking shots of small garden birds a couple of weeks ago, this little critter decided to help itself to the tasty morsels on the feeding station. Just had to have a crack at it! :biggrin: All C&C's most welcome.

Canon EOS 7D, Sigma 150-500mm lens.

f6.3, 1/160 sec, ISO 320, @267mm.

What a bonus Paul. Nice lighting and great detail in the whiskers. You have got a nice clean BG too. :toast:

That's one sharp ratty.He's either cleaned up or got there too late for the food though.I'd have been tempted to include all of it,as you seemed to have a bit more leeway on your zoom.
Nice change from another BOAS though,Paul.

The light is nice Paul, but I would personally rather see less or more. Good detail, another species to add to my must do list.

Hi Paul,

Nice detailed image! I would have gone for a closer shot as you had the focal length (not just to disagree with Phil :biggrin: ) as it looks a little cut off at the moment.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Hi Paul,

Nice as is but a marmite shot with regard to the closer/farther matter, I would have liked all of it in frame. It looks pin sharp so well caught.
