Probably not my best, but one of my favorites. This wonderful little sea otter hung out for a couple of months attached to the seaweed around a piling just behind a restaurant on the Morro Bay Embarcadero.
Converted from raw, adjusted EV -.48, sat moderate, and sharpen normal. Opened in PSE, levels, cloned out a bright spot on forehead, resized, USM, save for web.

He's just sleeping. I have a couple with his eye half open.

Oh, Dawn, I remember loving this when I saw this in the challenge. I was trying to capture our zoo otters the other day doing this, but they floated too fast :) This is PERFECT! You are THE BOMB! :)
I gave this a 7 and wondered whether it was taken in a natural environment, glad to see the credit I gave was due. Nice capture of one of my favorite creatures.
