Hi Christian,
Yes, it's really an action shot! The pieces of wood in all directions and the pose give a strong sensation of movement. A good shot that worth the waiting!

Christian bonjour, bravo pour cette petite hermine bien rusée et qui vous a joué bien des tours à sa façon. Le mimetisme est pas mal non plus!! Bon piqué et belle photo nature. Mes félicitations, Didier.

Hi Christian
This is a great capture you made of this little ermine in his summer colours, under very difficult circumstances. It is clear that the conditions were not on your side. While using the Canon 17-85 IS (f/4) lens and you are still forced to go down to f/5.6 and 1/60 even with a fill-in flash I have understanding for what you have accomplished here. Great stuff.
The little guy is so cute and it seems like he was actually greeting you with that little left paw. The composition and POV is very good, the colours are natural, the details are fine (given the circumstances), and the exposure was well managed.
Very good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

PS. I am still working through your iimpressive web page here and I am enjoying it every time I go and visit. Well done my friend.

Magnifique portrait de cette petite hermine, je sais à quel point ces anmiaux sont difficile à photograpier ! Je suis bien contente que vous ayez réussi à lui tirer le portrait malgré les circonstances difficile :-)
Les couleurs, l'exposition et les détails sont très réussi, de même que la pose de l'animal. Bien joué !
PS : Je vous souhaite un joyeux anniversaire !

Hello Christian,
I think the picture is incredibly good as for a shot of wild ermine! They usually run away before I even switch on my camera! The pose is lovely and I like all these wood all around this cute animal.
VERY WELL DONE!

Quite few ermines on TN. Nice to see one. Great POV and composition. It shows where it hunts in the same time that the animal itself.
(a little nit: the blur on the nose, but you knew that already)

What a cute little ermine. It took a lot of work on your part,
but it is definitely worth it.
Great POV, sharp details, and actually very good light.

Hi Taz, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you my friend!
What a cute little fellow you show us today, and it is very good considering she was playing hard to get!! So she is an Ermine - they used to make ladies fur coats out of her many years ago - must have needed to kill many to make one coat - how terribly sad!
Thank you for showing her to us,
Janice

Hi Christian,
A great shot, and after reading your note I'm able to appreciate it even more. It sounds like you had some fun with this Ermine trying to capture the picture, and I'm guessing she didn't mind the game either :-) Great eye contact and an almost surprised expression on her face. Thanks for persevering and sharing this shot!
Regards,
Adrian

Hello Christian

What a little sweetie you have here looking very curious. Very good pose with the one paw lifted off the ground like it is pointing at you - or waving may be. Well done. Good note too.

Hello Christian,
I did a search today on the site for "ermine" and noticed your shot which is so beautiful and sharp. What impresses me most is the surrounding that we both managed to take a shot of this lovely animal. I will be very happy if you also check this lovely similarity from my gallery, in this shot.

Best regards.
