Brown rat II
Things seem a bit quiet so I will bore you all with a few more rat images :biggrin:

Same techs as before

Great rat Mike. It is probably perfectly natural but the water drop reflections on the head and back seem a bit blue and bright which I find a little distracting :wink:

Bob

Thanks, I was in two minds whether to clone out the food, but left it in

I don't think its water but just the the white hairs or the glossy surface of the hairs have created a specular highlight from reflecting the blue sky :rolleyes: unfortunately not an easy fix short of individual cloning :mad:

Nice environmental shot, although I find the branch or reed(?) behind the head a little distracting. :wavey:
