This was taken in a rain soaked field, with me hidden under a sheet. There are no tricks and techniques, just a camera pointing at a river for six hours until this chap popped out for five minutes, then vanished.

Was abit disapointed with 63rd. It was taken in awful conditions and most of the negative comments mentioned the sharpness which suffered because it was a reaction shot. Still, my scores are improving and I will win one day. Thanks for all your advice and comments.
You were robbed. To bad. This is a great photo! You stayed under a sheet - in the rain - for 6 HOURS? I dare say very few put that kind of effort into their photos this week. Better luck next time.

This is a great shot that looks like it's been blown up just a bit too much. The focus is just a tiny bit soft, and even though there is a good range of tone, the color is a tad monochromatic. I'm jealous of the opportunity to shoot otters though. :-)
Very good composition! Just the right angle and closeness to see this little er guy/gal. The focus is somewhat soft. I think some sharpening would help.
That face! What's not to love? Otters are one of my favorite critters. The blur above his head is a tad bit annoying, the lighting on his face had to grow on me...I think it's adorable. Great catch. ~ 10 cthenk
