Beaver Reflection

Shot last year on an organised photo trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons. We watching a beaver collecting bits of tree moving backwards and forward - its amazing how big some of the bits of tree can get...I think we were there for a couple of hours without the beaver coming too close...I ended up using just my 500mm lens and taking several shots...although my position where I was laying came inundated with other photographers who has realised they were in the wrong place...nevermind.

500mm f8 iso400

a nice shot of an interesting subject. I'm not sure about the comp though, I think I'd prefer it lower in the frame.

A great shot and nice to see something different. As for the comp I dont dislke it as it is but I think you can take some off the bottom to give a more pano effect and it would work quite well.

Nits mentioned but a very nice capture indeed.

Love the light/reflection,a pano crop would suit the image very well Ian and for me I would like to see more of this beautiful,calm water rather than the BG,great find and capture

A lovely composition, like it just fine as it is.

I love colours of the leaves on this - they stand out really well.

The contrast between the monochromatic colour of the BG & water with the bright colour of the foliage works very well indeed, with just a hint of the Beavers head. The balance of water to BG also works too, although I might have been keen to extend the 'scrub bush' across the extent of the BG and would remove the four little white specks to the r/h edge.

Lovely light captured through the leaves and the sense of motion through the water!
Like this one a lot!
