Water Vole.

Another shot from my little Vole project.
Thanks for your tips on my last post.

Keith. :smile:

That is a little cracker Keith. The composition is much stronger than your last post as you have now isolated the vole more from the background which makes for a stronger portrait. (Your previous post worked well as a vole in habitat image but not as well as this as a portrait). The background itself is also interesting with the different coloured reflections. What is the little chap eating (it almost looks like a peanut!) ?

Do like this, no distractions just him and his castle.

Excellent shot, and a big improvement on the last one you posted.

Thats a quality vole shot, Keith. The ones I used to photograph would never sit on a log :biggrin:

that's nice Keith - I wonder if it would have worked better a bit smaller in the frame so that the perch wasn't slightly cut-off?
