Terrific EJ, rock solid comp (no pun intended) with nice smooth background with wonderful light. Any day now you can publish your coffee table book of pica and marmot! Thanks for sharing in wildlife consistently...

This gets a 5* rating from me E.J. Its absolutely priceless!!

This shows far better than any other Pika shot I've ever seen, the vulnerability of these tiny mites in their natural world - and also reminds me just why I love them so!!

SUPERB!!

E.J., this rocks. I do find the bright area behind the pika a bit distracting, but I am sure you made the best out of the situation presented, and I would love this in my portfolio.

Best,

Chas

Awesome. Reasons already given by others...

I do think the pika could use another hit of USM. But selectively--any more USM on the rocks, and they'll be over done.
