Ahmet very well taken. I like the way the rat is trying to hide himself. Ganesh

Dr.cum mahçup görünen güzel bir kemirici. Eline sağlık. İyi çekim.

Hello Ahmet,
What a cute little one again! I'm amazed by the size of its eye, it is so big and so dark... This is a nice capture. We do feel the flash but I guess that there was no way to do differently! You caught nice details on its fur. This is well done with intersting notes as I didn't know this animal. Thanks!
