The stare of the killer otter
There were moments I would like to kick his......
They can be a real menace and can be quite impossible to work with. But on the other hand it's lots of fun and we had a good laugh so now and then.

iso 200 1/300 sec. F4

Hilarious title, made me laugh especially after reading the info you posted on the last Otter image. I can just image you preparing for what's about to happen next. Brilliant lol. I think he likes you Edwin :biggrin:

A great image from a brave man :toast: :toast:

Terrific shot, Edwin. The eye contact is great and the icy setting and lovely water colour really makes this a winner! Cheers, Mark

Great title. Great shot. I think this would have been my last prior to vaulting out of the enclosure. I take it these are captive?

A great shot, Edwin. Just wondered if you had time to spin the camera around for a portrait? I think it may have suited the scene better. Still brilliant with that unquestionable eye contact, ice, and drops of water bringing the shot to life. You can go off some people, you know! :wink:

He's definitely coming to get you! Love the ice and tones in the background :smile:
