Hi Jaran,
although your career as a comedian may not take off, you could easily make it as a pro wildlife photographer ;o)
Excellent timing and composition, the clarity and detail are really superb, well done! I was hoping to go here this w/e but the weather doesn't look great unfortunately..

Hi Karan,

Your Stoats are the most adorable things! I love this one of him peeking out of his hole. The face is precious and in superb detail. The eyes, the whiskers, the little mouth are wonderful. Beautiful colors of his coat and of the scenery.

This is an excellent close-up of the stoat! I know how difficult it can be to capture these very private animals!
You have captured good eye contact and a very alert expression. Lovely facial details and nice composition!

Hi Karan

A lovely capture of this cute and nosy little stoat. The workshop also worked very well with excellent details, but that is a stoataly diffelent stolly.

It must have been a case of 'patience pays the price' while you waited for this guy to appear from its burrow. As these guys are rather busy bodies it is probably one of the better moments to capture it. While it was frozen for that moment to scan the surrounding area and make sure the coast is clear you managed to steal this very candid moment. The excellent eye contact gives this shot an added visual stimulus. Well done with the exposure management.

Great work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Karan.
You have pictured a very charming scene of curious glance of the cute animal. Amazing scenery, great framing and composition of the picture, wonderful level of sharpness and blurriness. Soft lights is excellent as well as rich natural colours. My compliments and many thanks.

Hi Karan,
what a fabulous shot of this Stoat!
I know they're considered vermin and are lethal predators but you can't help seeing the cute side of them :-)
The POV is very natural and I love the inquistive look on its face.
Very good detail in the soft fur and exceptional clarity.
Great lighting and colours which are nice n' natural.
Brilliant composition.
How often do you go to the BWC?

Cheers Karan!

Hello Karan,
Surprising photo of this Stoat. And he is also surprised, I think. Excellent details and catchlight in the eye. Very beautiful clear and natural colours. The WS is also exciting.
Happy Easter,

Technically very well done, with the DOF isolating the face in the frame nicely :)
Hope you had a great Easter,
