Shows the typical cluttered environment Keith and as such it's never going to be a classic portrait but still an excellent vole in habitat shot. Perhaps crop down to below the two bright reeds at the top as they are quite distracting.

bit of the bottom for me, lovely charactures, if you have found a regular spot worth keep going back and i look foward to seeing the results

Cracking image Keith.......plenty of fur detail and nice catchlight in the eye. Agree with Robert re crop at top. I would be very happy with this image sir!

Thanks for your tips guys i have done a lot of work trying to get the Voles where i won't them unfortunately i have got this one that is a bit bald around the eyes ,hoping he will get a winter coat that improves him.

Thanks Keith.

Taken a bit of the top and bottom i must admit i have a lot to learn when it comes to cropping.
