Otter

Gallery: WildlifePosted January 20, 2011119 views4 comments

I post at the Avian Gallery. When I was reviewing my shots from last year, I looked at my photos from my first trip to Morro Bay, CA. My cousin had taken me out to see the otters in the bay and I captured some shots. This is my first non-bird attempts. The photos in this gallery are awesome but I thought I would try and post it. I like the gesture. Like he is saying "what do you expect".
Crop shows 50% of original.

Comments are appreciated.

Cute shot and nice head on view. After reading your thoughts on the pose, that's all I can think of when I look at this

Great facial expression and pose, which makes the photo for me. The exposure looks good to me, with details retained in the blacks. Nice detail and sharpness in the face. Neat image.

The detail looks very good for a 50% crop. To my eye, it would benefit by being even tighter, so hopefully you managed some frames at the longer end of your lens, too. I agree it is easy to caption this thoughts to match that endearing gesture.
