    I like the pose and the trees that frame him. Nice and sharp. Well done, Dan

    Have to agree that this is a beautifully composed image and I love the way the animal is framed by the snow covered branches.

    Interesting "natural history" with action well caught! I like the composition and the strength that comes through from the pose.

    Thanks for sharing

    Looks a very snooty pose here Dan, great. Nicely composed and well executed, good to see the MK2 going strong.

    I just wonder if you lost about half an inch of the foot of the image if it gave a cleaner look and reduces the brown/dead bracken in the bottom LHC? Certain would prune the odd twigs coming in from the top RHS.

    Lovely moment here Dan - soft light worked well.
    I would consider cropping very slightly from the RHS to remove the twigs intruding into the frame.

    Nicely framed by the green branches and I like the little bit of eye contact. Also like the light fur on the throat.

    Dan - nicely captured behavior and I think the dusting of snow really adds to it.

    TFS,
