Wildlife Photo Competition 4 2013 : Entry Number 125

A rare shot of badger in daylight, a ground level artistic composition and a lovely wild atmosphere make this photograph. I suspect this is taken with a remote camera; such a wide angled and close range shot is very original and pretty rare. Great use of space, badger is boldly placed high in the picture, the leaves and the mossy foreground bring a lovely balance. You have researched your subject well and planned it shrewdly rewarding yourself with this fabulous result. Great work, well done !

Thank you for another mark of excellence in this competition. This badger is a lovely young lady and loves to play in the sun. She is tame and lives in habitat for the moment. Shot taken with 5dMk II and 17-40 and 580EX flash.
