Woodmouse (Apodemus sylvaticus)

[Jonathan Ashton]

This is very much a grab shot I noticed this little mouse whilst gardening so I rushed and got my camera, hoping for some more images over the next few weeks. The 300mm was perhaps a little long so I will use the zoom and MC14 next time.
This is an old plant pot I placed in a wild part of the garden, I was hoping that something may have taken advantage of it and I do rather suspect the mouse has a nest in there. (Much to my wife's discomfort!)

Nought wrong with that Jon, very nice indeed, especially as a 'grab' shot'. All workout really well, maybe Olympus is more based for 'grab shots' than proper captures? :bg3:

I know your thoughts, but that yellow streak in the leaf needs to go, plus the small spec of bird poo on the pot. Overall, nicely executed. :cheers:

Hy, you have a cute little tenant in the flower pot. I like the way the edge of the pot leads to the mouse and its posture. Plus the catch light in its eyes, actually you can see a plant reflected in it.

HI Jon .... really nice for a grab shot .
Only thing that is bothering me a bit is the pot , but nothing you could have done here !!!

The eye is just gorgeous , so are the colors and tones . Love to see those long whiskers

Looks pretty good for a grab shot. Nice detail on the mouse. The color looks solid as well.
