The Poser

Posted by
Spike (not Bristol, United Kingdom) on 13 February 2012 in Animal & Insect.

It was a little too chilly for him to stay in one place for more than a second or two (or maybe there was a cat nearby that I couldn't see). But he did stop on the handle of the shovel to do a little glance over the shoulder.

Tech stuff: another with the 500mm mirror lens and follow-up de-blurring and contrast tweaking.

Thanks for stopping to take a look.
