    lovely light and pose here Bill

    I like the tail curled up - these guys are so much fun, as with most of their kind in Africa

    Agree with Morkel … great pose and light. I think the IQ has suffered from the x2 converter hand held. TFS.

    Great alert pose Bill. I might consider cloning out the ridge line that intersects with the head.

    Good suggestion Dave. Here is a repost.

    Bill,

    Relative sharpness of the mongoose looks to be the same throughout so I am guessing you might need some more sharpening and focus or HH motion blur not the issue (though 1/250 sec is pretty slow).

    I like the pose of the mongoose a lot - great way to capture him in this long horizontal. If you are inclined to cleaning up the beach some, I would get ride of the shadow line near the head (mentioned above) and the green stuff on right as well as cropping tighter on right.

    A lovely cheeky pose here Bill, agree the 2xtc has lost a touch of IQ, but nice to see that fine curled tail!
