 From a nature walk in late March: these little fellows are fairly aggressive near their nests. Post-processed from RAW, some curves & saturation, unsharp mask, the usual. Could have been nicer in advance editing with some Lucis Art, but oh well. I'm going to guess a mid-5, 'cause that's the rut I'm in, and I'm sure we'll see a swimming tiger or a 27-point buck in the mist. :-P

Very nice. The brush leads your eye around the photo. The bokeh is great.
