    Fun image but you look like you had some tough conditions with the harsh light, busy BG, and sun at his back. Was he wet by choice or accident?

    Cute subject for sure but as Steve mentiioned you had a problematic setting and light to deal with.. I would have placed the raccoon to the right in the frame to give him more roon to the left to look into the image. A bit of fill light would have helped illuminate the dark mask and eye..

    This image has a very high "cuteness factor," but the light, as noted above, certainly wasn't cooperating. You might try cropping tight on the right side and a little off the top to eliminate some of the brightest, most distracting, background elements. Lightening the darker parts of the face could also help somewhat.

    When situations in very bright light, like this, present themselves it's difficult to hold back because the cuteness factor is so high. A flash can help reduce the contrast in a bright scene by lightening the shadows. A really cute raccoon! :)
