Making my way through the forest back to the car, I always use the most inconvenient route :| I came across this handsome fe(a)llow. Managed to get a couple of shots off without a TC before he bolted. I must learn to be more quiet. :rolleyes:

Thanks John, I would much rather lose the feet in a forest floor (albeit one made by a big machine) than have them visible on nice cut grass ;)

I like the alert pose on this one, and if anything prefer it to your previous posting.

Neil don't think i would worry about the feet it's a very good shot of this fine animal in it's habitat even if it's man made :biggrin:

I prefer this one Neil. The head is nice and clear against the BG on this one and as usual I found the females distracting in the previous :biggrin:

Very nice image, like the pose, OK the floor is a bit untidy but that is nature.

All the best

I much prefer this to your previous post Neil. No problem with feet, plenty of virtual space there. Branch is a shame but not a deal breaker for me. :toast:
