Excellent Otter shot Phil, love the arched back of the Otter and the setting, not sure if it the Otter was higher in the frame would aid the composition ?

Lovely sharp,spiky wet otter.I think a little more room above and to the left might make it even better.But I still think it's really good as is.

Like Phil says - nice spikey job. Like one of those little resin figurines you can get !

Another great shot Phil and fine as it is. To accentuate the long form of the otter perhaps crop some from top and a bit more space to the left? (as an alternative crop).

As Robert has said, ANOTHER great Otter image; nice work. My interest is also peeked by the choice of equipment used. Is this the new (Mk3) 2x, or the previous generation? Whichever it is, the results in combination with the 200/f2vr look very impressive.

Hi Phil my 2x tc is a mk1, I did have the mk2 but my mk1 was much better, I have used the mk3 not mine so had to give it back, what I found with the mk 3 is that it has more contrast & seems sharper in the center the edges are a bit better too.
