    Lucky to nail these little guys, they are fast and rarely hang around as Chris mentioned, so congratulations on getting this one.

    Certainly if you have more image below I would use it and adjust the crop accordingly, as it's a little too tight. If you could, a lower POV would have been better, as looking down at your subject is not always ideal. Both colour & detail look good, but might tweak the Levels adjustment in bringing in both left and right sliders to meet the base line ie 6 & 250 as it just adds a little to the image IMHO.

    Good suggestions, and very nice to see a weasel. I would imagine that they would be very difficult to capture. Would love a bit more space at the bottom, but those things have been covered.

    I love the pose and fur detail. I agree about bringing out the side of the face and the levels adjustment. There is one light blade of grass in the background intersecting the head that I wish wasn't there. Tough species to photograph!

    Good suggestions above. When i see tall in the frame I think vertical and a vertical crop would suit this better then the loser horizontal crop. The right side of the image does not add and only distracts from the center of interest.
