Eye reflection of a wild Wood Mouse.

[Testudo Man]

Not really a true macro shot, but I was taking photos of a wood mouse in my garden recently(I have a fair few shots of these mice!) so i thought i would try to get as close to one of the mice as possible. My intention was to focus on the wild mouses eye, in order to show the content in its reflection.

Here is the un-cropped(full size) image of the wood mouse. Since i know the content of the eye reflection, and you might not be able to make all of it out, it is as follows - My house, blue sky and clouds, a path, a small pile of crushed peanuts!(the lure) and a dark shadow, which is me crouched down, taking the shot.

Thanks for that.

Cheers Ash, nice to hear from you mate, hope you are keeping well.

Looks like you have been here awhile(on this forum) I joined back in November, but have only really started posting recently. It seems like a cool place, perhaps a bit "clicky", but that's to be expected

I'm all good thanks Mr!

Yeh been here a few years I think... but doing much less of the photography recently

But yes it's a nice place Just expect people to tell you what they think None of this "Nice pic ", it's more "Well it would be nice.. but this, this and this are what you can do to improve it"

Well, you are all grown up now Ash with a demanding job, so i would imagine you have little spare time for photography these days.

As you can see, ive ventured into the DSLR world recently. I had a look at a Canon, but this Nikon d5100 was offered to me at a real good deal/price, so I had to go for it

Our UK Buttterflies (and adders/reptiles) should be out and about very soon, so you know what i'll be shooting pics of soon then
