I love watching beavers glide along but have never been able to get an image that was appealing to me. I put a treatment on this image to try and accentuate the curves. I would love to know what you thnk... good or bad

Once you click on the image to bring in the darker surround it really shows off well. Lovely detail in the head and wet fur, and you do get the feel of it gliding along through the water.

Maybe just a bit more contrast or a bit darker would help. I do like it. I find it hard to photograph beavers in my area. They are very wary here.

Very nice -- love the 'S' cure! I might be tempted to play with contrast to see how the image would look with a darker beaver.

I like this just the way it is. Beautiful curves, and a soft, flowing feel. Nice clarity on the head. Lovely!
