I was actually in the sea to get this one but I think it was worth it.

Well done John. Unusual to see a good shot of otters actually in the sea.

Absolutely worth it John - lovely image :toast:

I love the image. I think you have an even beter image if you get the otter on a top of a wave so you have the complete otter in the picture. But your picture is good as it is.

this works very nicely, a lovely shot. You were brave to take your gear so close to sea water!

Well timed-the otters head really pops out of the screen

Very nice John.
My eye's taken right to your subject. Not too sure about the "getting into the sea thing" though, sounds like a touch of madness but each to their own.

I like it John. Hope you took a series of shots - I'd like to see one with his chin in view :cool:.

Lovely and the viewpoint is great. I find watching otters fish a bit mesmerising: just end up following the action for ages :smile:

Its head certainly grabs the eye very nice
