Nice shot, Yves. I love the texture of the wet fur.

Thanks Jane, When the light is good and the angle of shooting is good, that new camera can achieve a very well coloured and contrasted details photo.

Terrific shot Yves. I like how you captured him out of water amongst the grasses.

Thanks Debra. A beautyful gift from Mother Nature. The energy on the site was so good that I decided to stay in for a moment. Finaly saw that little guy eating some grasses. He let me take a few shots.

Thank you very much Heather. That flat section of the river was flooded and I found it so beautyful that I decided to take some nature scenes shots. While doing the shots I found the nice guy. I am sometime very surprise about the quality of details that camera and lens can achieve.

Really nice capture, Yves. They're fun to watch as they glide across the water of our dugout but I've never had a chance to photograph them out of the water like this.
