Otter on Guard

[Dennis "Curly" Buchner]

This otter pop up on the ice and got a nice surprise as a coyote was close feeding on some of this fish the otter had on the ice. The otter was not scared of the coyote and went about his business.

Nice trotting pose and cool colored reflections Wish there was more light in the upper face. There's a dust bunnie to the left of the face.

Dennis,

Getting low here a good choice but not too low as you were able to get the nice looking gold reflection in the water. A bit better head angle and light direction would have been nice.

Fine capture here. Seems a bit contrasty to me, should be able to take care of that in PP... Great light and a nice color in the water. Love the foot raised.
