American Beaver

Hi Paul. Hey, looks a lot like our "Canadian" beaver up here in the great white north 'eh.
You captured a good image of him, although the one stick in front of him makes the beaver's composition slightly "busy", sorry coudn't resist. The beaver seems a little bit soft focused, did you apply sharpening in post processing or crop the original a lot? If you have any more room on the left I would suggest doing a slight pano to include more on that side to de-center the subject.

Lovely behaviour here of a classic species.
The beaver doesn't appear as sharp as one would want it to be...and it's a pity about the stick in front of him.

Nice, rare (at least in Sweden) sighting. There is a nice reflection here. Maybe you could have gotten a bit more out of it if you have included the whole reflection of the beaver.

The low perspective makes this nice. I appreciate the difficulty of getting a beaver to pose like this, too. I agree the angled stick crossing his body is unfortunate.
