Wild Mink

I've only seen this critter one time, for about 5 seconds, on the

banks of the local river. Fortunately I had my camera and the 400mm

lens at the ready, and the mink was nice enough to strike this pose

before disappearing back into the river. Comments welcomed. Thanks -

I've never seen a live mink before. Nice capture!

cute and wild at the same time

not sharp im afraid.

Interesting photograph, This must be the time for them to become active, I photographed one on the Merrrimack in NH about 2 weeks ago in nearly identical circumstances. Dirk (www.wildphotographs.com)

Don't worry about Alex...he is good at drive by ratings....

Very beautiful picture of mother nature. Very good capture. In my opinion the subject (head) is too much in the middle. The piece of straw at the left is a bit distracting. Cropping at the left, and a bit at the top, makes it better, more balanced I think. Nevertheless, great job.

Thanks for all the comments on this photo - and Koos Net, your cropped version has the balance I was looking for but didn't achieve - nice! - Cecil
