Come on baby, give us a kiss

One from last year, two young stoats play-fighting. If there was ever a time that I wished I'd had my 500mm with me, this was it.

Taken with the 300f4+1.4tc hence the large crop. This one is just for sharing, but if you want to critique it feel free.

1/2000th @ f8 -1 iso800 ( about 75% of FF )

Thanks for the feedback on my last post and thanks for looking.

A rare sighting well caught and full of action can't beat it.

Hi Andy, an excellent image, you can just feel those teeth, great detail, colour and definition. Like the light on the kelp too. Just wonder if an even slightly tighter crop would work, loosing some of the OOF FG?

Overall, a lovely image. :toast: :toast:
