taken the other day after a long project on stoats amounting to over 2000 pictures taken, this is one on the closest taken, with this stoat coming within a few feet from my position
It's amazing you got that close Jeff. DoF looks very minimal and the point of focus seems more to the throat/chest area instead of the eyes. Perhaps a bit more sharpening could help. A fantastic opportunity though and one I really envy.

Hi Jeff.
Good stuff on your web site by the way.
Was there any more space around this ? Tiny bit big in frame for me , but as you say when they come that near !!
Cheers
John

I have to be honest it does look noise reduced or cropped, cant tell at this size. Agree with John re: the cropping.

Nice to be able to shoot stoats. Agree with Roberts comment reference focus.

Nick.
nice and big in the frame
the focus point could do with being on the eye though.
Looking forward to seeing more.
