Judges Comment

This fantastic photograph nearly made the top spot. The low angle shot of this wild and darkening forest is absorbing and drops us right into this scene, the advancing racoon is curious, a little nervous and beautifully damp. The focus is a little far back, (or is it the shutter speed which is a little slow?) for the animal’s eyes to be sharp, making it harder for the viewer’s eye to settle. I wonder if this is a remote shot? In any case it is near perfect, well done.
