Hello Craig. Great effort in capturing Mr Water Vole. Not too cluttered with vegetation as is this time of year. May be tempted to blur the BG a bit to tone down those twigs. A target species for me having spent the whole of last weekend with one view only and know images.
A great moment indeed.

Nice work Craig, and although you couldn't do anything about where it was sitting, I do find the branches in the top of the image a little over powering.
Hi not a bad image a bit too contrasty could do with a bit more D.O.F and the water appears to be sloping down hill.
The actual branches give a sense of environment and donot bother me, also fore me by cropping off the bottom of the frame to where the sparkling water is, focuses your attention more on the subject and less on its environment.

Another good shot of these Craig, don't think I've ever even seen one. Agree with Phil's comments. Was that your seal shot in BBC wildlife?
