Man, if those things could talk it would be frightening.

I love the sharpness and the moment you've captured here. Looks like he/she's talking to friends; hey, pass me some coffee! ;-)

Nice job and a great finish!

This is a very nice image. Reminded me of "The chronicles of Narnia" :-). I love his expression. He seems to be making a comment on your camera. I think it perfectly meets the challenge.

Great job! This is such a nice photo of an animal. He's really very comical looking. It appears that he is not real. The colors and quality of this photo are exceptional. However, a water shot, or even a shoreline shot, does not always mean 'beach' in my opinion. And meeting the challenge, to me, is the first and most important thing, if that isn't done, then anything else is unimportant. Doesn't mean it's not a beautiful and creative shot, because in this case, it absolutely is! I do love it! I went back and forth on how to score your pic, but I do vote low for those that I don't think meet the challenge, so to be consistant, I am voting this lower than I want for the reasons stated above.

Great photo! Too bad beavers don't live at the beach. Darn challenge themes. Always getting in the way.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? I always wanted to write that somewhere!
