Yellow-bellied Marmot in Wildflowers

[Marina Scarr]

Got lucky one morning on Mt Evans during my recent trip when 3 marmots insisted on posing for environmental shots. It was a highlight of my trip.

C & C always welcomed and much appreciated,

I like it very much. I like flowers in animal or bird images. The forground rock might be a little sharp.

Nice job of showing some of the plant life that grows up there during the all too brief summer. I like the stronger diagonal of the BG rock with a tighter pano crop that just removes the clumps of grass.

Nice composition, Marina, as you've pulled together the marmot and the beautiful flowers. I like the way the critters nose matches the granite.

Beautiful Marina! Like the inclusion of the flowers. And they add a nice splash of color.

Agree with posters above, this is a wonderful habitat shot, nicely composed. Image quality looks good to me too.
Nicely done
