Not very spectacular I,m affraid but a rare grab for anyone who has tried to do these in the wild. They turned up at the rear of my bird bathing pool. very nervous and a lot of binning resulted. They are about 2 inches in length.

Neat shot John. Nice poses by the two, some good habitat/surroundings, and good to see them in a photo not being eaten by something else.

Hi John,

I like this, nice complimentary colour and they are sharp and nicely posed. there is a bit of magenta in the white, not sure if that's real or not...

Love the detail you've extracted with the 70-300VR John, the symmetry pose is very pleasing too, with good overall colour, the magenta could be as is?
Perhaps a touch of NR on BG would benefit.

Your choice of aperture worked well here to get both nice and sharp, John.
I too see an overtly red and magenta cast throughout the image.
I tried a repost with some of the red, magenta and green taken out, with some added midtone contrast to the voles. What do you think?

[John Robinson]

Thanks all
Morkel- Thanks I did a dropper on the whites and they were all coming out pretty even 0n my set up so I'll take your word for it !;
I honestly cannot see much difference in the two posts but I do have a problem with colour. Thats why I have usually been reluctant to post anything.I am slightly red green colour blind so maybe thats it. Thanks for your help
John

Touch more green in the reds John, slight less eye watering ;) Well done to get two sharp, **** of a lot of DOF, I know I have tried.
