Interesting capture. Looks natural although taken through the glass..Fine composition, soft colours and good light and dark play light makes this an interesting viewing!

Fine darks, see the face from above mouth/nose upward better as a nice light is cast on that and the upper body. Like those colors on the otter also. The lack of seeing below the top of mouth on that side may take away a tad or not. Still nice capture.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that otter swimming underwater. Colours, textures and tones are good.
Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

Gorgeous use of lighting. The face is just lit up enough to show the fine details. The curve of the body and the way the light lands on it is just fantastic. I love dark images and this is fantastic.

He is certainly curious. THe direct veiw of his face gives you the spilt second opportunity to photograph his face. The lighting is spot on and so is the construction of the scene. Shade and shadows of the effects of the light highlight and illuminate his long body. He is a true beauty as is the photo.

Did you post this twice?? Otter nose to glass looks same photo?? Anyhow this is an interesting image with the lighting high. Good focus and handling of glass surface. Colors are great.
