Cracking image, the colours of the birch trees really make the image.

Cracking animal and lovely perch. I'm not too sure about the yellow though, especially in the large version - a wee bit bright.

I really like the vole but I'm undecided on the background as it does compete for attention a bit. A very nice pose on an attractive 'perch'. What is that going on above the voles back, is it weird ripples or have you cloned something out?

Just a ripple Rpbert,thanks to you all.
