The Marmot Suit.

One more Marmot, not so serious.
One of the most pleasant animals on the planet.
Just happy eating Wildflowers, and posing for the camera.

Lovely detail and love the vegetation.. Nice appealing image!

[Robert Amoruso]

I like the environment and the wildflowers. I like the full-frontal lighting. I find the head angle a bit awkward with the dark shadow on the left.

[Rachel Hollander]

Nice detail and the flowers really add to the image. Great to get it standing but I agree with Robert about the HA being slightly awkward.

TFS,
Rachel

Nice light and detail. Like the wildflowers surrounding the marmot as well.

[Marina Scarr]

Like the inclusion of the flowers and rocks with the marmot...what a dicotomy to their enviroment at this time of year. You captured great details in the fur. Would have preferred the lighting to be a little more even.

[Stu Bowie]

Dan, what a pose you captured here, and nicely separated from the surrounding BG. Great fur detail too.

Love the flowers and the pose! Great IQ in the fur,
Gail

[Pieter de Waal]

Love the pose and surrounding vegetation. Great detail in the fur of this lovely little guy.

Thank you all for the nice comments, I may have to post one more.
The subject deserves the credit, the Marmot let me get so close and stayed around so long that
I had time to go back to my backpack which I had set on the ground and change lens.
This was with an 18-105 with a polarizer that I was taking landscape shots with and I changed it
for a 70-200 and took more photos while he chewed flowers and posed on rocks.

He looks quite serious looking at his stance :bg3:.
Nice one Dan. Could you have gotten even lower here?
