    Yes, it does look just as you've described, Andreas. I like the pose a lot and your framing of the animal in this composition. Overall, the tones look a little thin to me in this one. Maybe it's the background partly to blame which is quite light? I'd be inclined to try this a little darker overall as a start. As usual, excellent fur detail. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Andreas - The comp works really well here and with nice detail too. I agree with Glenn that the greys look a little lighter and thinner here than in your other marmot images. The grass definitely adds to the image.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Thanks Glenn , Rachel and John ...much appreciate your constructive feedback

    Glenn & Rachel - i know that i went a bit thinner in the tones , specially in 1/2 to 3/4 tone range . I might keep them slightly thinner for now ....but we will see , i might change my mind depending on the shooting conditions. I might post later a version with more tonal depth if my time allow it.

    Thanks again , Andreas

    I like it but now the tonal depth has been mentioned a little more pop wouldn't hurt. For me, this is more in line with your pretty much noiseless images once again.

    Thanks John ........ very minor NR in C1 . No more NR added in PS . Previous posting was the same ....10k Iso almost no NR .
    Agree that a tiny bit more pop would not hurt the image , i just wanted it a bit thinner as stated above

    Cheers Andreas

    Very nice. I like the detail you have captured in the fur, and I think the grasses adds to the image. The facial expression is priceless.
