This is such a good image, I know from having tried myself how difficult it is to get a good shot. SO much detail and the shine on the nose and eyes - brilliant!

Such a grand shot...it's so real I can almost reach out and touch it. Your work always amazes me!

Wonderful clarity and detail. The pink nose is adorable and is that the tip of his tongue sticking out at you! Janet

This is brilliant, Sayer...it's one of those shots that would be soooo difficult to get,
and not only have you succeeded in capturing it, but so well too! Outstanding!

One of the finest Opossum images I've ever laid eyes on. Where I live, it's more like 4 weeks due to automobile density. Just a wonderful portrait. g

WOW Sayer, the detail is so good in this photo, I feel as if I could reach out into my monitor and touch this opposum.
