Comments on my Beaver? - DPChallenge Forums

Figured that might get some attention. I just got back from a quick trip across the state with my son and would like some comments on some of the pics from my road trip.

Come on, some of you owe me a few. :)

And not to be accused of false advertising, I do have a beaver shot in the collection, but I didn't shoot it - I mean photograph it - to hang on my wall, so no need to comment on that one.

He appeared to be freshly dead when I found him on a highway turnout. And while I was getting a couple shots of this guy, my son is yelling out the window that there is a black bear across the river. I ran back to the truck to get the 70-300mm lens, but was too late. Bummer.

Thanks to anyone who comments - I have a couple days work to catch up on now, so I'll check back when I can, if only to bump this a few times.

Just to clarify - I don't really want comments on the beaver - just any of the other shots in my Road Trip folder: //www.dpchallenge.com/portfolio.php?USER_ID=28742&collection_id=10871

Thanks :)

Hey Ken, Ryan loves beavers, he's got a big stick to poke them with, just don't stand in front of him when he's on the scent. ):)

I still owed you two detailed critiques from the past contest, so you got three from me. :)

I'll take a moment to say that I hope my critique style isn't taken as nitpicky or offensive. I like the shots, but when I leave a detailed critique I always call out both the good and the "can be improved" side of the shots. Both sides of my opinion in this regard are of course totally subjective!
