Some very nce light here on the rat... I like the comp. Good catchlight in the eye.

[Robert Amoruso]

I agree with the previous comments. I would suggest that moving left or right may have gotten a clearer BG behind his head.

[Dave Phillips]

thanks for comments.
Robert, this is a situation where I have to shoot between the trees and shoreline coverage.
But I am paying more attention to what is in bg....thanks for input

Hey Dave,
BG stick covered. Light and expression are great and you didn't clip the tail! Hope you didn't get too beat up by the floods.

The pose of the nutria is great, the lighting is dead on from what i can see, and I like the way it is framed.

Great job!!!!
