A Sea Otter, clearly focused on me as I focused on it. I was sitting on a big boulder on the beach as it paddled by on its back, eating muscles. It suddenly realized I was not part of the normal landscape and came to attention to investigate whether or not I was a threat.

Hi Gary,

I like those ears on the sea otter. I would try to work up those shadow areas slightly. Other than that, a fine image..................Jim

Great techs and I love the nose-up attitude.

Nice shot, Gary. There's some nice texture in that wet fur.
