    Default You hum it and I'll play it...



    'You hum it and I'll play it' or 'Handel's Water Music'

    Bad bg but I thought it was funny :)

    the water adds to the overall effect. Don't have to include the actual reflection of the animal (what is it?), but just crop above that and add some more to the effect.

It has no defence against its main predator which is the 'foreign' Mink that descend from escapees of Mink Farms years ago (I don't think we have any Mink farms now) and some that were deliberately released by Animal Rights activists, they obviously didn't know what they were doing :(

    The title alone makes this very cool.

    Good one.

    Tell,

    I like the placement of the Water Vole. Though the BG is busy, I don't mind it. I like the side lighting.

    Too cute and I agree that the addition of the water/reflection is the way to go with this one. I love the title and appreciate the background information as I've never seen a Water Vole, before. This image would be great as an illustration/inspiration for a children's book. (Wind in the Willows, aside).
