I saw this pine marten at the Canmore Nordic Centre yesterday, while I was taking pictures of the mountain bike championships. Needless to say, I forgot all about the bikes, and jumped up and down with excitement over this cute furry critter.

Very nice pics this week! My choice for a winner is a tough one but I will go with "Loons" due to the perfect pose and degree of difficulty.

I have to agree, that's a great shot! Even though there's a bit of a problem with red eye :p. Congrats Brant!

Very nice image....congrats Brant!!!

Nice shot. Congrats! Catchin' the Red Eye...(my title for it ;)

Hey...thanks Dave for the selection and everyone for the comments. I am always pleasantly surprised to be selected given the quality of images everyone is submitting.

On a quick other note to our judges, I would just like to say that while the quality of photography on this site is very serious, I hope that we never take our weekly contest too seriously. We all have lives and priorities. This should be and is for fun and a way to share our hobby together.

That is a long way of saying...no problem on last week. Things, they happen. :D

Congrats Brandt!
