a teeth cleaning might be needed here - great focus, I like being able to see all the textures of the skin.

Is that yellow thing floating in the water or flying through the air? That is a little distracting, and I'd crop a little off the top..but really like the photo!

What an amazing creature. The crop is bothering me though. Too much green on top?
