Taken on a recent trip to the Outer Hebrides, was a pleasant surprise when it landed close to the car, but couldnt believe it when i realised it had caught the vole as well :)

1D Mk4 and 600 F4 IS L from the car window.

Great natural history shot. On my work monitor it looks as though there is a faint blue cast - the moitor is uncalibrated though.

Great image but I feel it could do with a little more sharpening and a tiny bit of contrast just to punch it up a bit. Wish one of these would land next to my car! :toast:
