^{This is such an adorable picture. So innocent and he's soooo fluffy!!! I rarely see otters not wet (which apparently didn't last long on this guy since he fell in).

I love the detail, I've never noticed otters feet before until this photo. I knew they were webbed but never actually saw that. It's not a detail normally captured ex in photos.

I like that the little guy is facing you for the picture. He has a great expression too, he most definitely is worried about the gap. Almost "are you kidding I'm first?" Which apparently was a valid worry.

I like the focus and the depth of field. I wish you could see his siblings a little more but I'm not sure this photo would have the same effect with all of them in it together. There's something catching about him on the rock alone with his siblings bustling behind him.

Very awesome job, not an animal that is captured too often. Lovely photo, very cute.}

Hi there, I'm glad you like this shot but unfortunatly I don't allow people to use my photos for manips anymore, this gallery contains no stock images. All my photographs are copyrighted and may not be altered and re-posted in any format.

Sorry to be like this, but I used to allow people to do manips and I had a lot of problems with improper and inappropriate use of my work, and so I just don't allow it anymore. Thanks for understanding
