same one as before
this was quite a special experience, 5 metres away from a wild otter while it had a good rub was certainly one of the more memorable moments from the trip
i quite a few images similar to this but with different compositions, i'll post them all as i'd like to know which people like best

Nice capture Jack - comp-wise there's just a bit of dead space on the right, but you can't crop that because of the whiskers.
A subject I'd love to capture myself - a bit green with envy

Been very impressed with the pictures you have posted from your shetland trip (sorry not had much time to comment lately) Love this one not an easy subject to get to grips with. I see a bright furture for you in the world of wildlife photography.

Being so close to a wild Otter must have been a terrific experience and you've got a cracking shot as a memento. I like the fact that he/she's not staring at the camera and looks totally relaxed.
