    Lovely shot 9/10 how's that? Easy for me to say but the head could be a tad sharper, I think the DOF and colours etc are super. Perhaps a faster shutter speed would have been beneficial??

    This is awesome Glenn, the action and the low POV are terrific. Nice colours and sweet BG. Well done. The thumb nail doesn't do justice to this shot. Good work!

    Hi Glenn .. a supercool dynamic image , love the flying weasel with all legs of the ground .
    Comp does work well as do the fine sharp details in the subject .
    Pleasing fore/background .... nicely isolating the subject .
    Personally I would add a bit of exposure ... and I think the image is lying a bit heavy on the yellow/orange side , might be just me .
    Not knowing what you have done under the belly of the weasel .... it looks like some clone work took place , if this is the case I would try to make it less obvious .... again just me.

    Thanks for the comments, I see now the cleanup I need to do from some minor cloning of twigs.

    Nice action shot Glenn, great DoF but it does need more SS. What did you set the mega pixels to for this shot, remember the higher the amount the more SS is required.

    Hy Glenn, its a nice action shot, I like the way you froze the weasel mid flight. The BG has a nice color, just makes the weasel stand out. A bit of selective sharpening on the head maybe would improve the image.
