Water vole III
On Monday I had another session with the water voles. Spending half the day sitting in a stream in December was a bit different to the last time I did it in October! However, the voles played ball and I rather liked this one, where the vole came a bit closer than usual.

Thanks for looking.

Best of the bunch so far, David. The low angle, composition and reflection all work a treat IMO.

Andy... :wavey:

No chance of a landscape I presume ?
Suppose the reflection would have to be cut :frown: :biggrin:

John, Keith,

Not much more room on this particular frame, but plenty more shots to come, most in landscape format, and some with the reflection cut off!!

Bob,

My old neoprene chest waders, that I now know have a leak just above the knees.

Hi David, enjoying your 'Tales from the River Bank' :wink:

I would be tempted to just darker the FG water just to give a bit more weight to the image, but I would look at the Cyan coming through on these images in the fur. Just some simple adjustments really make a difference.
