Not enough light in the undergrowth at the rivers edge, but the otter seems to be happy, which is more thab ce said of the fish.

IMHO a great action shot!! I like that you caught the otter with it's mouth open. Details and colors look good. Thanks for Sharing.

Very nice image, Ken! Love the details on the otter, including its paw.The open mouth and the sharp teeth are a bonus!

Great capture, Ken! It's clear that the River Otter loves his sushi! This shot really exemplifies the otter's human-like usage of their "hands". Love the close-up detail in this one!

Very very pleasing. I, too, like the rendering of detail, the low eye level perspective and well timed capture of action.
