[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was in the garden yesterday sat down hoping to get some bird photo's when i saw this mouse running about collecting bit's of bread. I knew we had mice under the shed but had never seen one.Trying to get a photo was very difficult,they are very fast!!This was taken on my tamron len's which will only manual focus on my camera,even more difficult!!Plus it was under some dark bushe's.But i am very pleased with the result,i have cropped and adjusted brightness and contrast.The brown bit is catkin's off the tree's.

Hello Dane,

I'm sure you were thrilled to make such a shot as they are very fast when on the move!

Your shot of the mouse is quite delightful with very good details, particularly of the head. Excellent eye contact and good colours.

The downside is the noise in the b/g. It is not difficult to remove and your photograph looks much better without it. Sadly, today I cannot do a w/s to show you as I have exceeded my limit. I'm sure someone will help.

Just keep shooting. Your shots are fine!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Dane!
Good shoot, nice capture. Cheers
Adrian

Hi Dane,
yep there's a bot of noise in the BG here, but it's still a great shot. Your low POV is excellent and the DOF just right. Well done.

Hi Dane

Lovely capture of the Mouse, nicely composed with a cute pose and you have done well getting the low POV, very nice colours too.
I spotted one in my Garden this week too but after chasing it around for a bit it managed to lose me.
