Otter IV
D7000 300mm f4 ISO 400 1/640s at f8 handheld resting on seaweed covered rock.

Have cropped to show just the head. Quite like the bow wave on this one. Many thanks for all your comments on my last post and all C+C warmly welcomed.

Nick. :wavey:

Another excellent shot Nick. Maybe not quite as strong as your earlier ones though. The position of the otter with that high point just above the ear makes him look a little hunch backed. I know it's purely a fraction of a moment but it does slightly spoil that classic 'flat headed' otter look. Many will disagree but it is only an opinion :smile:
Still a wonderful experience for you.

Both good, but I prefer the first, phrenology can be quite interesting, so they say. :biggrin: :wink:
