Otter, Peaceful Waters, Wellington Fl
Sony a1, Sony 200-600mm @ 200mm 6.3, 1/3200 sec. iso 500.
I had been photographing this Otter out in the sun in manual exposure based on green foliage readings.
As it swam closer it dove under the surface and came up almost under me while I was on the board walk, he was in deep shadows and there was no time to change settings as he stared at me for a brief second before going under once again. I shoot in RAW so I brought it back in Photoshop RAW.
I have photographed these guys for months but this is the closest I ever got, this little guy always, if he sees me, will stop what he is doing and gives me a once over.

Great capture. It pays to always be ready for anything when shooting wildlife.
