Hi Joe - Another nice one. I do find the bright fg competing for attention so would consider taming it a bit and also going more pano. Interesting to see the rear paws.
Hi Joe what a cool character this Otter .
Love the pose and the low POV you achieved . Well handled shadows and great that you have that much detail extracted , not that easy under the light conditions .
Just think the 1/4 tones up the the HL are a tad to bright , have you blown the HL ? in capture .
If not ,great than you should have some tone to get the HL darker .
Nice work and show more if you have , as otters are not shown very often here .
Lovely shot with fine details, I would bring the highlights down, I think this would help the foreground and the grass. I would also think about lessening the lower foreground, becasue it is naturally rather bright.
