Wildlife Photo Competition 6 2018 : Entry Number 61

This is so sweet but also so beautiful. Clever shallow depth of field and lovely light and color give this cheeky looking hamster a wonderful setting to peep at us from. Congratulations, your lengthy efforts have won you this prize!

My name is Izabela Reich, I'm from Poland living in Germany. I'm a passionate photographer of wildlife nature, especially animals. It has always been my dream to watch field hamsters in their natural environment. Well, finally my dream came true and I shot this cute hamster back in 2018 in Austria. The camera was Nikon D810. Thank you very much for your choice and your friendly comments! Izabela
