Wot, you got that close and didn't club the little vermin. Shame.

Well taken pic tho.

Very nicely taken hairy ... ... great pose and lovely composition too ...


Is it me or is the eye focus just a little on the soft side ... :shrug: ... might stand a bit of a sharpen ...

Thanks for the comments.

BRASH: Didn't have the tripod, or else I coulda lummped it with that

Ian: No reds round here unfortunatley

Venomator: I think you're right, the eye is a little 'soft'

Nice and sharp Hairy, what lens did you use for this may i ask..?

Cool shot - eye looks ok to me, but maybe the focus was centred on the nose

Very nicely captured mate, a tad more sharpening would really make this image imho

I agree - nice shot, but needs a sharpen, those whiskers should come up tack sharp.

Thanks everyone. I'm never too sure with the sharpening; I usually seem to overdo it Thought I'd hang back a little, see how they look. I'll give the sharpening another go tho', to see how it looks.

what lens did you use for this may i ask..?

Lens is Canons 70-300 IS. Was an early Christmas present to myself. Very pleased with it.
