[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There was a movie called ,,Jaws,, now there is photo called ,,Claws,, ... He is a fat, mean, cute, digging machine ... I wish I had the camera on when he jumped on two legs, did a full spin and grined at me , unbelievable , like a circus animal ... sometimes the joy of a second or so in animal photography brings you forgiveness for all the miserable things that come with it...
American badger (Taxidea taxus) making winter preparations to sleep the cold in a burrow in an old river wash. He is a fatboy now but not when he will wake up in the spring ...

Hey Radu, Haven't I seen "fatboy" before? ;-) Nice display a dem dere CLAWS!!

Great shot. Sorry I am running behind a bit, after the weekend away. Will try to write a proper critique later.

Excellent capture Radu and yes he really looks like he almost falling a sleep and will never make it to his winter bed. Wonderful details and colours in the fur and the pose is simply lovely. Very good cropping/composition.

Sure is a handsome critter.Mogens is right though...he's either tired or totally wasted.
Nice capture,framing etc.

He lookks ready to sleep his eyes have a heavy look about them . This is a very clearimage that you for posting.

Nice portrait Radu, you could have left a bit more space in front.
Well done.
