Otter (Lutra lutra) (c)
Hi, took a trip with the family yesterday to the Chestnut Centre in Derbyshire. Difficult to get into a position to get a decent shot, also made more difficult by the fact that all the pens are situated under heavy tree cover. Crits Welcome.

canon 50d sigma 50-500, 1/125 at ap 6.3, 417mm and ISO 500.

HI Scott, seems like you didi the best you could in the circumstances but on my screen it would appear to have quite a heavy green cast to it.. I'm sure this is a mixture of the tones and reflections from the day but might be worth tweaking with.

Kind regards,

Brett :toast:

Hi Brett, I know what you mean. Because there is complete tree cover overhead you do get this unusual green tint to the water. The only changes I have made are to specify shade on the cameras software (which it was).

Hello Scott.

Nice shot under the circumstances you had to work with.

The only other comment I could make is to tone down the bright area in the top left as it pulls you eye from the Otter.
