A very cute and adapted animal for the sea. This a beautiful shot, you have managed to record its wonderful features. Most of the time they are pictured floating on their backs eating shell food so this is a fine change. Lovely picture. good luck in the contest. Ray

Interesting capture. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this otter by the water is great. The capture of the light is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

Nice entry for this contest! The river otter is well placed within the scene,and well posed on the tree trunk.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed allowing a good sense of this location. Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
These guys can be mean, especially if there is a group of them at a lake.

Thank you so much. There were only two that I saw, and I did keep my distance, but more from fear of them disappearing than for safety reasons. Lol
