Took this at one of my local reserves over the weekend. Lots of locals go there to feed the ducks and these guys earn a living clearing up all the crumbs.
Can't do much with the small twig floating past but have cloned one out from bottom center.

Hi Bob
I would reconsider removing the floating stick,, draws away from the subject..

Useful little creatures and I'm fond of them myself. This rather furtive pose seems to be in keeping with its role in society. I agree about the twig but can see it might be tricky to clone. Nice one Bob.

Shame about the twig, but I really like the rat and composition.

Hi Bob,
I like the pose and composition here. The twig is a little distracting - difficult cloning job.

That would be very nice without the stick. Might well be worth spending some time with these guys, lots of potential, I'd say. Eric
