Sea otter on ice floe
From my recent Alaska trip.. I don't see these animals out of the water very often. This also seems to be a large speciman. Handheld from boat. Shown full frame.
Camera Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV
Shutter speed: 1/2000 sec
Aperture: 6.3
Exposure mode: Av
Flash: Off
Metering mode: Multi-segment
ISO: 400
Focal length: 500mm
He sure does look big, nice capture. Love the detail in the fur, his/her espression and camera angle. In a perfect world I would love to see his/her other eye.

Good look at this species. I think a pano crop may be a good thing to try here.
he does look VERY well fed :)
nice pose and composition here Dale
how about a slight crop from the RHS to nip off the shadow behind the ice that is drawing my eye? I know how you feel about cropping - just "testing the water" as it were
maybe just for you guysOriginally Posted by Morkel Erasmus

Maybe he is a she & she is pregnant. That would account for her size.
Great image. I like the detail in the ice & the look on the sea otter's face.

I like this a lot...Give me a warm feeling inside( Maybe thats because I think warm when I see the ice)
