Hi Suzanne, love these little characters, especially when they wrap themselves up in kelp and go to sleep, or crack open shell fish with their favourite belly stone. I was privileged to see them off the 'broken islands' a few years back. Was this taken anywhere near Tofino by chance? The reason I ask, is that next September I will be spending some time in AK to photograph Grizzlies and will then stop off in Vancouver island to do some Black bears and anything else, especially OTTERS :-) Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi Suzanne I like it a lot. Find these so difficult to get any detail in the fur, you got to lots of it and two clear faces, love the expression on the one to the right !!!

Might take a little from the bottom, mighty fine image !!!!

Like Alfred's crop suggestion Suzanne. Other than that, this is pretty well nailed. Glorious light and that expression... please give me some, is priceless. couldn't be better.
