Smiler
D7000 300mm f4 ISO 250 1/200s @ f6.3 handheld lay on floor of cottage shooting through open patio door.

Taken at holiday cottage in Cairngorms several weeks ago in the garden. I know anthropomorphism (had to look up the spelling in the dictionary :biggrin: )is being used here but I am convinced it had a self-satisfied smile on its face after having buried a number of nuts in the garden (hence the mucky paws and nose). It was almost saying.......aaaahhh, that's me set for the next few days! After all Johnny Morris couldn't have been wrong all the time, could he?

All comments warmly welcomed.

Nick. :wavey:

What a lovely shot. I really like the pose. I'm not sure about the colours though. They look a bit oversaturated, but it could be due to my monitor. :wavey:

More of a cheeky grin than a smile. Could be on the warm side, hence the colours but the grin is great! :toast:
