It's nice to see a night shot that looks like a night shot Ian. When it first opened my first thought was too dark but the more I look at it the more I can imagine the actual scene as it must have been in reality. I like it very much indeed and not just because of the charismatic subject but as a stand alone image. I'd like to see a larger image posted as well if you could.

It is a dark image, but that suits the secret and nocturnal nature of the subject. Good to have you posting again, Ian.

The marten looks good against that black BG, and the way it is curled around the stump makes for a good pose. I think the dimmer light has worked very well, giving just enough light on the face.
Welcome back, Ian

That is a great Marten image Ian and the use of a dimmer light has worked very well here. One of the best Marten images I have seen for a long time.
