I like the tight framing here and the crispness of the details in this image. I also like the wake under his chin.

[DanWalters]

Nice detail and I like the little surge of water under the muskrat.

[Harshad Barve]

Tight framing works here so nicely , top class

I like these kind of images - movement , behaveiour and detail so well captured, TFS.

[Steve Kaluski]

Agree with Robert here Chas, but it's the bow wave that makes it for me.

[Mark Wiseman]

I like the detail, but the bow wave is amazing.
TFS.

[Morkel Erasmus]

Interesting critter, Chas...I too like the bow wave the most...
Are they related to Otters?

[Rachel Hollander]

I agree with the others - nice comp, detail and light - but the bow wave takes this over the top.

TFS,
