    So a rather different perspective and it hurts. Here I am flat on the ground trying to capture what is a really small guy.
    I like his hair, though he is scruffy!

    RIchard:

    I like the mouse level perspective and his pose. The head is a little soft, and a bit more dof would have helped. You had enough light to work with to try a smaller aperture, if time allowed.

    Good job on getting low!

    Cheers

    Great shot.
    I really like the low shooting angle and great pose.
    Head is bit soft.
    Well done.

    I like the low perspective a lot and the curious look on this little guy. I could see this vertical as well.

    Nicely taken Richard, the tip of the bill could perhaps take a little more sharpening and purely based on preferenceI think I would tone down the background just a little bit.
