This is a wonderful close up portrait of this Nutria! He looks so cute and he's looking right at you. Great light and colors. Very well done!

This is interesting-from a distance! It shows the wild personality of the nutria.
Good close up, quick shot of the fine details of what it really looks like.

Comment from mamamary
Now, how cute is this? I love his face! Are his teeth red? That is unusual, but could be part of his species. You find the most interesting animals to take pictures of. Then you do it so well.

thanks a lot Mary for the nice comments and top rating, highly appreciated;
yes, his teeth are orange colored;

Comment from avmurray
This is what I call close and personal, with the nutria showing off its mustache and teeth. Funny that they have such a strong orange color. The light is falling on the animals face in a great way.

The photo is nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in every part of the nutria's face, and the exposure is very good.

The tight cropping is working well, and the animal has got a fine placement within the frame. Indeed a great looking and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

Comment from orchidrn
I had to do a double take when first seeing this. It struck me as being very surreal. At first glance I thought his ears were actually huge eyes! This is a great shot with very nice focus and clarity showing excellent detail of this little guy's face.

Comment from michiganmike
A nice "in your face" close up. I like the focus on his nose, but even your excellent technique cannot make this rodent into a starlet. Well composed and well exposed.
