Hi from the Critique Club.
A great image that scored well, always a challenge to 'critique' these.
I was fascinated to read that this was taken in a State Park, wow. So this guy was roaming free? Incredible how you got so close.
I love the close-up aspect to this image, and your chosen aperture seemed to get the perfect amount of this creature in focus while nicely blurring out any distractions in the background. Excellent! I would be curious what this image would look like if the area of blurred foreground was taken out, or leaving just a slip of that foreground visible. This would have placed your subject lower in the image, but maybe an equal amount of the top of the image could also have removed to almost make this more of a fill-the-frame shot? Not sure if that would make this any stronger or not, you've got a strong shot as is. Well done and thanks for sharing.
