Nice focus on the eyes, Nigel. They always look like they are startled. Some people I know look like that too. The change from landscapes just shows how versatile a photographer you are. A really fine post.
You showed me this pic on the notebook (I want one!)if I remember correctly, and was struck by the eyes then...This image is still jumping out at me on the NI page...Brilliant.
My cutie ....
I do love them animals - both the wild [including Boris the Tiger] and the tame ones [like the rest including spiders]
LOL
Seriously the focus is fantastic ....
What fascinating eye that animal has. They are so wide open, like he has just seen a ghost or something. I love the color of them too. Excellent capture, Nigel.

Wonderful portrait of this small critter. The clarity is so good every eyelash and whisker in sharp focus. Your perspective, though, is what really makes this shot a standout.

Hello Nigel....When photographing closeups of humans/animals the eyes are what one focuses on and you have done that superbly....What is he looking at?....Well done Nigel....All the best to you....Mick.
