A chance encounter a couple of weeks ago when checking an area on Lake Geneva, I was at a very small harbour where the fishermen unload their catch (perch)and saw a rat scurrying around picking up scraps

A great image of a much maligned creature. Excellent.

Love it Dave !
The chain adds that oomph to the shot too I reckon.
Minor nit - darken the white pebble or what ever it is on the left.( Not as bad as me Bluebell though !!! )
Cheers

Really like the composition and colours. Not a very common subject for photography and nice to see one here.

Hi Dave,

Superb capture! Love the environment you've capture in the image! It gives a real sense of place! Very nicely done!
