Otter with crab
Well, all that was left of it once the snacking had begun! Another from Mull last week.

Nice image, well executed - would like to see more of the crab but that's the otter not playing ball i would imagine !

Lovely shot Richard - Excellent composition and the bladder wrack gives a nice texture.

Don't worry about the view/comments.
I've looked at this one a good number of times now and really should have said something about it b4 now.
The position of your otter is making it hard to get a good shot of it, the back 3/4 and tail are always going to look too big in the frame compared to what the head is like when it's in this position.
Cure? Go in tighter, but with the rig your using I'm not sure this was an option.

Weather's been superb since you were up.
