Irish Pine Marten 2

By markst33    
I was in a hide for these shots and I had borrowed a Sigma 150-600 from a friend in the camera club. The longest lens I have is 70-200 so it would have not been suitable or would have required serious cropping and possibly introduced a lot of noise as I was shooting at high ISOs in order to maintain high shutter speeds.

I had never seen these guys in real life before I went here so it was a whole new experience and a new genre of photography for me to try out that did not involve garden birds or ducks in a pond.

I have a question for any serious nature photographers. If I was going to enter this into a nature competition would I automatically be marked down for cropping the tail ? Or would it matter ?

ISO : 1250
Shutter Speed : 800/1

Very well done for something different for you, an excellent result.

I suspect you would be 'marked down' for chopping off the tail as it is an important part of your subject but, like many images it would be down to the judge(s) on the day.
