Scott,
To see that you made such a great shot out of a potential bad opportunity amazes me. The jerry rigged water line (painted green) was in every shot I took here. You found a way to get a great shot! I admire your determination and I loved watching this otter play. Awesome focus and cropping. Looks like he posed for you!

What a fun shot and story, Scott!

He does look like he is having a great splash, and your timing is perfect on this capture!

Nice details, water action, lighting and POV.

Thank you.

Cool shot Scott. Sharp detail seen in the subject with very good exposure. You have stopped the action very well and it's a great effect with the water-a-flyin'.. Great title choice also. Very well done my friend.
Thank You!

Great action - I can almost hear the moment.

Excellent sharpness and pov.

The whole thing is rather funny - and that's very nice.

Beautifuly done, Scott. The "freezed" water drops and the playful look of the animal makes a very dynamic scene here.

Hello Scot!
It must be difficult to take this kind of shot. I didn't do it and I'm impressed of yours.
Good job!

Mischievous action. It could so easily have been just another portrait. Well done. Actuion stopped just enough to show movement of water whilst showing detail of the Otter. Good shot.

Hi Scott, I love otters. In Germany lives only a few. :-( Last year I saw a river otter in animal park Sababurg.
Very good moment you captured. Great action shot. Great sharpness, details and excellent POV. This is a great composition. Thank you.
