Swimming Water Vole
Canon 7D, Sigma 300-800, 1/320, iso 1000, f 6.3, tripod.

Cropped by about 30%.

That's lovely: the reflection really makes it special, as does the fantastic eye contact and the moody water.

That'll do.
Good to see a different viewpoint.
Seems to be asking for a slight left rotation but maybe the effect of the bow wave.

That is one great shot, the low viewpoint works nicely. Great reflection too.

Very nice shot Guy

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the reflection and the deep green water. Judging by the eye reflection and the white dot in front of the face, I agree it needs a fair amount of rotation though.
