Like that you cropped out everything except the otter! You have to see him. The water behind him is unfocused and sets him off but the water right in front of him is clear and enhances what is happening. Great photo and well honed!   Posted: 03/11/2025 14:43:35

Hi Howie. What a candid Wild life. You capture this Otter at the right moment! I also review your 'Howie Images'. I see you as a serious and seasoned wildlife Photographer. I love to see your 'Jaguar starring' from Brazil. The fur looks nice and soft. I saw a bit of over sharpening here in your Giant Sea otter. I experience the same when I apply Topaz AI to my sharp images. AI application tend to ruin my sharp images. They over do it. Some time I apply AI sharpening just to a small part with very tight masking. To me. The beauty of wildlife images are when sharp elements appear among soft and a bit of blur background.   Posted: 03/16/2025 21:51:00

Those are sharp looking teeth!   Posted: 03/26/2025 21:31:17

This is great. Ferocious looking. My only suggestion would be to get rid of that bright green leaf on the lower left. Everything around it is blurred, so it is a little out of place and distracting. I know a lot of times I don't see something that is obvious until someone points it out to me.   Posted: 03/30/2025 18:16:38
