This one doesn't really do it for me. The harsh overhead light is not great but then that is a product of the restricted access that the Farnes allows. The killer for me is the lack of any eye contact- this sort of shot really needs it.
A general point about shooting well-photographed species is that you have to do it either exceedingly well or different. Just my opinion of course, but you have posted much better images here. Hopefully you will take this rather harsh critique in a non-personal way - it is all about the image.
