Nutria by Red River

[Dave Phillips]

First post in wildlife

Was snowing a lot yesterday here in NW La. and the birds
I normally shoot were scarce this morning, so a juvenile nutria became the subject
This one's body is about 10" long....found Along an outflow of the Red River

400mm, ISO 800, 1/320, f/5.6, 25mm ext tube, thus shallow DOF
c/c much appreciate, thank you

Cool pose and good exposure job considering the difficult lighting.
I would try a vertical frame and also it would have been good to raise the camera a foot or 2 to avoid the OOF (ouf of focus) grasses.
