That is a beautiful shot, Guy. I think if it were mine I might be tempted to do something about those light circles top right.

That is stunning Guy. The lighting is great, good portrait of the otter, good activity and even the wave is working in your favour. You could, as David mentioned, do something about the highlighted circles but my eye disregards them as being water highlights anyway so it's not something that would worry me. I would like to see a bit more space to the right but if this were mine I'd be over the moon. Spot on.

Very nice, I like how the head appears to be spotlit, you don't say if there is any crop but I think a touch less below and a tad more above with a little more to the right. a lovely looking image.....

Nice light on the head where the action is, I guess it could be better but that's the nature of nature photography.

Great pose great animal.
I would probably just add a bit of gaussian blur to the top half if it were me.
