Photo of the month for October 2023 by Dimitris Makrygiannakis , as voted by BME members.
Some words by Dimitris about the photo:
The Coypu also know as Nutria is a large semiaquatic rodent. Plenty of Nutria reside on the shore of river Vltava in Prague. That night I was actually photographing the swans on the shore when suddenly I saw the Nutria holding a carrot. I was kind of amazed to see the fine way it was holding the carrot and I decided to try to make a photo. I am quite compulsive when I shoot to always look through the viewfinder but here it was impossible. So I nearly placed the camera on the ground, in a short distance from the Nutria. The rest was pure luck, the frame that turned out this way, and the focus too, as I was shooting in auto focus mode. I welcome luck in my photography of course, but I prefer my compulsive way, to be able to feel that the photo is a 100% result of my mental effort.
