Cool shot! I love the texture of the skin, and how the texture contrasts above and below water, and the sunlight highlighting ear and eye. You captured a fleeting moment perfectly!

He was a big guy too … swimming around in the pond, closed his eyes and just floated there! It was an opportunity for an unusual shot of wildlife at the Toronto Zoo and I grabbed it!
