Some of you asked for a lower angle on my previous Pika shot. Wish granted.

I got the impression that this little Pika was dreaming of all the greens it was going to collect before winter. To give it that feel I positioned myself so that the light area of the background would seem to be emanating from its head.

Another great shot.. I like the shoulders up a little like he is in fact thinking something over... The best part for me with this image is the size in the frame. I know I am always trying to get really close but its a small little critter and appropriately presented here in "its world" Love the background and the quality of the overcast light..

Now where's the cuteness alert for this one!!

This is a wonderful shot Noel and the little fur ball looks totally overawed by the vastness of the world he finds himself in, hence that expression, the hunched shoulders and the ears down to make him look even smaller.....just in case there's anything flying overhead he hasn't spotted! :roll:

Superb!! 8) 8)

The lower portion of the rock is perhaps too overpowering, but the overal effect (small animal, small in frame, nice BG) is very effective.

I like the relatively simple color set here.

Great shot. The placement in the frame makes for a strong composition, and all the technicals look right on.

Great BG Noel and the pose really cracks me up. "If I don't move he won't see me" kind of a look. Very cute! :D
