Another shot from the Pantanal in Brazil, I liked the dappled light on this one.

Interesting spotlighting here, Nate.  It's such a cool subject... but I can't get over how much uglier giant otters are than their smaller cousins. enlightened

Nice catch here, Nate.  Great spotlight on the face and lower teeth, and nice detail all the way back to his eyes.  Really nice.

The spot light makes it stand out nicely!
If this was mine, I would experiment with darkening the foreground water.

Hey Nate,

I totally agree with the others - very cool spot-lighting on the otter. Have to say I love the pattern on the throat region - very cool (I've seen images of a few wolverines that show similar throat streaking). I also like the simplicity of the image...

Nicely done...thanks for sharing...

Cheers...

Brad

Great light highlighting the teeth giving him an intimidating look. Also highlighted are the nice patterns on his neck.

Cheers,

Hisham.
