This image was taken at around 10.30pm. In Spitsburgen during June you'd need to wait a long time for the sun to go down.

wow, there's something you don't see everyday :-) Nicely captured. I think I'd prefer a bit more space on the left, but a shot with great impact as it is.

what a ridiculous looking creature, must have the smallest eyes in proportion to head of any animal, great portrait though, the light, detail and setting are all excellent

Excellent portrait. Lots of different textures in this one which I like.

Nice one, don't know if it is already a crop... if not try this crop....

a shade from the top but come in from the right to remove most of the dark patch on the creatures back.....

Hi Paul,

Fantastic portrait! The water droplets make this image for me! Phil's crop choice sounds good!

Love the bristles! Just a bit tight on the left for me, as mentioned :smile:
