Muskrats have favorite spots where they haul out of the water and sit and preen their fur. If you take the time, you can "clean up" the area a bit by removing a bit of the annoying sticks and debris.... time and patience....

Thank you very much Aly. I wish I was still in Virginia where this picture was taken. I've since moved back to my home state of Arkansas, and have some pictures here that I'm going to throw up here before too long. I also appreciate your work too. I check out your images from time to time. Appreciate the comment.

Thank you, and before this I had never seen one in nature at all, but knew what they looked like. I wasn't quit sure at first, and initially noticed this one and a possible sibling swimming in this creek. I stuck around to see what it was, and over the period of a few weeks captured the photos you see. I know where they live, so I can go back in the Spring for another round. I love wildlife. I love your work also, great shots.

I'm amazed by the picture myself, and not only it's composition, but the camera itself that I used. I was attending Culinary school and was at the local library in Scottsdale Arizona with a Kodak disposable camera, and captured this image. It just goes to show that no matter what tool or medium you use,it's the artists perspective that wins in the end.

Thank you for the comments. I am an amateur who grew up with a Professional photographer in my Dad, who taught me what I know. I recently gave up the camera I took this image with, but intend to get a replacement as soon as possible. I appreciate any comments that will help me to improve as a photographer. Even if I never do more with it than just a hobby, I want to get better at it. Thanks very much.

Jeffery:
My first advice is that the subject should not be centered in the shot. Off center compositions seem more dynamic. A tighter crop on the left-side and the bottom would certainly help the composition along. (See attached example) Also . . . if the eye was sharp . . . the image would be much improved. Softness anywhere is not as serious as it is in the eyes. Sometimes you can help this along with an unsharp mask in PS (if you use that). Clearly, the stick's not much help but also can't be helped.
You've got good subject material here and decent use of light and color . . . I'd say it was a pretty good start for you here on UF . . . (and Welcome to UF by the way)! Looking forward to seeing more of your work . . . and hey! I use that lens too . . . small world!
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Nicely exposed and appears to be reasonably, if not critically, sharp. The out-of-focus twigs don't worry me; they show you have had to stalk the creature. On the other hand the twig that coincides with its nose is a problem.

Definitly a nice shot, but with some points on which improvement is possible. First I think you could crop the image a little closer. There's a lot which doesn't really add to the image. The second is that the animal isn't completely sharp. Especially the eyes feel a bit soft. And in an ideal world the branch in front of it's head would be there..
All that said, it's still a nice image. Just keep on working on the matter. Welcome on usefilm..
