Very cool shot of this mink in its winter environment! Well done.

Excellent capture, Paul. Really nice exposure of the blacks. This fellow presents an almost humorous appearance standing up so straight. A fine image.

Great pose with the toes turned out for balance as it stands erect on the slippery ice. Lovely behaviour capture, Paul with a touch of humour. A shame the light is so flat but that's a normal dark, winters day - and you made the best of it!

This really made me smile- I didn't know they could stand up like that. I like the way the fur stands out against the ice/snow- makes an interesting contrasting pattern. A charmer!

Nice detail on the fur and good exposure under challenging light.
