I have mounted my first Raccoon. I would like for you guys to take a look and let me know what you think and what I could do in the future. Please take into consideration the bad photo.

Claude the main thing I saw was ear shape and placement .I am not sure from the picture but it looks like maybe you might not have cut the ear junction deep enough also the shape of the ears are not simetrical and the edge of the raccoons left ear is rolled in ear also looks too full.you might try an ear liner or at least one for reference.
also you might want to try seperating the whisker roots and cutting that area of the form and rebuilding it with clay so there is clay under the whisker butt this will allow you to adjust the whiskers individually giving a more lifelike appearance.
Heck of a good job for your first one keep up the hard work and always strive for the next mount to be better no matter what level you get to in this buisness.
