Otter

Not bad, only kidding this is an excellent shot. I’ve tried many times but I’m still waiting to get a decent shot, the eel really makes it an outstanding wildlife shot.

Hi Dessie. I come from PI from many years ago and in that time C&C was truthful and helpful so I’ll continue to give the same as I did back then.
The fact that you got the image of an otter in the first place is commendable but critique generally isn’t about the subject but the quality of imaging.
I don’t know what your post processing skills are like but I would suggest reducing the exposure around the mouth area – it’s blown out and the centre of attention is just there. I’d also try to blend a lower exposed image down the left side of the otter (as you look at it) to bring the character and eyes back into attention.
There’s a band of lighter area going down across the otter – I suspect this was from shooting through grass or reeds? This can be tamed by dodging the midtones down this area.
I don’t mean to dampen your efforts but it’s proper critique that help to make the good, great.Alan.
