    An Albino Nutria.
    I posted another image of one a year or so ago.
    This is not the same one, I took this last weekend, the same refuge, but a much smaller younger looking one.
    Obviously the refuge has a genetic defect amongst the Nutria population.
    They actually need to get rid of all of them!
    They do attract attention, hard to miss them, and they make a nice photo image if nothing else.

    Hi Dan - interesting to see an albino and looks like you handled the exp well. Nice pov too. I would prefer a bit more room on the lhs for the tail. Normally, I would say you could crop tighter from the left to eliminate the issue but with the nutria scratching you don't have that option. Looks like the reflection was nice. Do you have any with the complete reflection?

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Dan, another interesting post with a different animal, thanks.

    I like the behavioural aspect, but more importantly the fact the rear leg is blurred, not sure if that was intentional, but it works. I agree with Rachel on wanting more room to the LHS, it's just a little too tight IMHO. Adding some mid tone to the subject and then removing the blue that is creeping into the whites in places does give more depth to the subject. The splashes are a nice touch too. Personally I can live with the lack of reflection, but wonder, is there anyway you can get a lower POV? If you are heading back and it's feasible, I would try to explore a lower angle, but try to keep dry.

    TFS

    Thanks for the comments.
    This is almost full frame, a bit off the right is all.
    While I have seen one other, they are by no means common, so I doubt I will get another chance.
    I could get no lower, it was in the stream with a steep bank.

    Quirky creature - I like the behaviour and the white coat. Also wish for more tail to be included.
    I'm sure you'll get a chance to revisit this bloke, Dan
