    Pine Marten Sorry about Title spelling gaff but can't change it. !
    (Not baited)
    This animal came out of the scrub next to a hide I was using for Hooded Crows in Scotland. A local reckoned it would have been attracted by the small of my sandwiches which every one uses to attract them.
    The hide was on the edge of a smal ldeer lawn

    Hi John.
    I like the cute pose here. There seems to be some magenta and blue creeping into the marten's tones, and I would slightly desaturate the yellow/green channel to make the grass less of a distraction.
    I also agree on the green sheen on the marten pointed out by Haseeb - often the camera picks up reflected light from foliage such as the green grass here.

    It looks very grainy/crunchy for an image at ISO-800? Did you underexposed and have to recover a lot of shadow detail?

    Thanks all.
    Had a bit of a lplay. Would point out that this animal lacks the typical redish Marten colour as its in mid oat change. Possibly a young one too. Didn't want to alter the fur colour too much. The branches in the ack in fact are Scots Pine with reddish bark.
    Morkel- dont know about the grain. No shadow recovery done. Could be the crop.
    Thanks for all comments
