Nutria Portrait
This is a young nutria rat that I happened upon last week.
They are considered destructive pests, but there is a family
that I see year after year......the one's that the sole gator does not get.
400mm f/5.6L w/1.4X tc, ISO 800, 1/200, f/8 (save for web quality 50 due to extensive detail)
Thanks for looking in and c/c
Dave, Beautiful details and composition. I really love the color tones.
Looks like you have some really sweet light in this shot Dave. Super sharp too. Love it!
Neat image Dave...The detail pops out at you. I also like the light and the framing of the subject...
the wet fur and sharp eye makes this - super close-up! curious to see what it would look like with a tad less space in front and a bit more of the vermin included? :)
Dave,
Very well composed - just the right amount of body and the front paws in the image and enough room around him top, bottom and front - does not feel cramped. Great detail in the fur and nice and sharp.
Oh yes Dave. Brilliant detail, and what a great eye. Your comp works just fine for me.
Hey Dave, You must have a really good camera and lens. More seriously, has anyone ever told you that you are one fine photographer. Ditto all the pluses above. Was this from the car? IAC, how was the camera supported. I would lose the seed or whatever by the paw and might lose the green thing on the nose but would surely leave the one on the fur. Sorry Peter

Thank you for comments friends, much appreciated

thus the slightly downward angle.
Hey Dave, YAW. What camera body?

Ah, so you used AF for this image. (I was wondering how you would focus manually on a beanbag....)

Great details. BG color is a nice compliment to the color of the fur.
I wouldn't want to get on this creature's way :)
Perfect timing capturing the expression and good framing, way to go!
