swimming Rat + repost
Every day two rats are eating all the food for the Rail. But I'm having a great time capturing this fellow :biggrin:
iso 200 1/500 sec. F7.1 no flash

That is the best shot of a rat I have seen. Love the colour, low angle and the bow-wave. Superb! :toast: :toast:

Isn't that the beauty of this game - there's always something to work with, and you're getting a great portfolio of rat pics there Edwin. This one I like a lot.

Edwin have you tried the crop as 'pano'? Nice light and colour.

Super shot of one of the few creatures that I absolutely loath.
Like the composition, lighting and pretty well everything about it.

Excellent shot with great complimentary colours, well done. I think a pano crop with the whole tail in would look great too!

Another fine image Edwin - again lovely warm browns and tonal range - top job :toast:

Thanks guys,
Indeed a pano would work but in this shot the tail isn't visible at all. Maybe a repost tomorow.

Thanks,
Edwin Kats

Lovely capture although it looks a little to tight behind the animal. Immaterial of the tail showing above the water. I'd like to see it zoomed out a fraction. That notwithstanding, a cracking image.

Very nice picture, it make a change to the water vole that we see usually.

Nicely done, very clean background to emphisise the rat and great colours. I really like it. Tristan

Pano was a great idea :wink:
Hope you like this as much as I do.

Excellent pair of images :toast:

Both work really well. The best shot of a rat for me too :toast:
Posted by Ian Andrews on November 24, 2007 at 3:02 PM
The second works well. :smile:
