While we were Seward, AK on Resurrection Bay there were lots of Sea Otters and they were just plan fun to watch and photograph. This guy hung around a long time and gave us all kinds of poses. Here it looks like he is praying.

What a funny pose Richard! I agree on the brightening suggestion and I would crop this pano to eliminate some empty (non-contributing space at the bottom).

Great title, but I agree that it looks a little dark.

I like his prayer-like position. I would wish for an open eye, and I know that can be tough with these kinds of animals. I think a lower camera perspective might have made this a little better, too.
