Hope this fits the bill for this months theme might be half asleep but it's tail will stop it falling out of bed:S3:,thanks for your comments and tips on my Squirrel post.

One of a kind photo. I love it. The elements and colors are in harmony , good compo and the little one`s actitud is delicate.

Hi Keith, you are providing a great 'slideshow' of images on this subject. Cant really tell, but techs look good but is it sharp???
I would submit some to Spring Watch if it was my call. :cheers:

Thank you for your kind words Marcos,Steve a repost with a bit of sharpening.

Nice clean image on a perfect blurred BG.

Did you do selective noise reduction on the BG as the whiskers and edges look a little blurred?

Dumay you are correct (Did you do selective noise reduction on the BG as the whiskers and edges look a little blurred?)don't know how I would do it differently.

Thanks Keith.

Hi Keith -- What a lovely image , superbly done. Looks slightly soft to me but at this size it is working nicely . Lovely image with load of cuteness factor .

TFS !

Lovely shot Keith, I love the way the tail wraps around. I think the little extra sharpening helps.
I agree BBC would love to get their hands on these images, I wouldn't mind betting they would want to see how you set up the images - hey you could become a star!

Thanks Steve and Jon I,m not sure they are that good,but a big lift to my confidence.:S3:

Keith.

This is great! Makes me want a mouse haha Cant think of much negative! Well done

Hi Keith another bummer of your mouse friends ....love it for the content/ behavior POV.
Technically you had better processed ones ....to be honest .
But this is just my view ....still great to look at .

I do really enjoy looking at your mouse frames , keep them coming.

TFS Andreas

Hi Keith - I'll leave sharpness and colors to others because I am away but I do love the way we see the prehensile tail in this one and how it wraps around the stem. Another really nice mouse image and I am looking forward to the next.

TFS,
Rachel

Thank you Lance,Andreas thanks for your comment,I totally agree about the processing,Thanks Rachel your comment much appreciated .

We go away to the Greek island of Paxos for a couple of weeks see you when we get back.

Keith.:wave:

Hey Keith have fun down there.....just got back from a quick trip to Chalkidiki , stayed on Sithonia .Lovely place with gorgeous marine environment ....went snorkeling and sea kayaking .
Cheers Andreas

Another stunner of a mousie dear Keith and I am besotted with him! Love those delicate little feet and prehensile wrapped around the stem.

Just out of curiosity: what is in the BG, plants?

Looks good to me overall, nice comp, nice PP work too. This just works, I would like some more please!

Kind regards,

I love this little guy! Great shot - what is he sitting on and eating?

Thanks Andreas sounds like a good place,we enjoy them all,thanks for your kind words Gabriela I always appreciate them,the bg is a load of old plants that are growing at the back of my green house,Thanks Melissa pleased you like it,it's sitting on a poppy seed head cleaning it's little face.
Keith.
