D7000 300mm f4 + TC14e ISO 250 1/1000s at f7.1 monopod.
Blue skies and mirror lochs so decided yesterday was an otter day. Soon caught up with a male hunting the sea loch margins at almost low tide and this shot was taken as it emerged from guddling about in the shallows for small fish having caught one and about to swallow it. It reminds me of a great white shark looking at those big white gnashers!
Many thanks for all the comments on my last post and feedback on the comp.
Nick.

Good one Nick. Not too sure about the crop to be honest. Maybe even a closer one to emphasise the head ?
Would de me anyway.

Great shot showing those teeth . Must be great watching him/her feeding like that.
Regards the crop, i think it just needs some off the bottom and some more on the top to bring him down to quarter of the way.

Why buy toothpaste? All you have to do, to have good teeth, is to eat raw fish! Excellent image.

Another beautiful Otter image, Nick. The large looks mint, and great that you can see the fish in it's mouth.
