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.

Otters are one of my favorite animals because they always seem to be playing and loving their life. I love this photo of him and now knowing that he just popped up to look at you makes me smile! I'd love to have taken this image!!

You are very lucky that this Otter has befriended you.. They are usually reclusive Critters.. I have spent a lot of time in the wilds but never have I seen a otter like this.. Thank You...
