Shasta County, Ca,
It has been a few months since the last otter visited our neighborhood pond.  This youngster spent the morning cleaning up the bullfrogs in the duckweed.  7D, 500/F4+1.4, F8, 1/500, -0.3 EC, ISO 400, tripod.  Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

Hello David

great capture, excellent details,

would like a close up of the head as presented, the expression with the colourization is very powerful

The duckweed appears to be good camouflage for the otter :)

Love the duckweed face mask! Fine capture of this young otter munching happily on the frog legs delicacy - I wonder if they taste like chicken?.......

Wow! There's a "once in a lifetime" shot. Glad you were there to capture it.

I like Bill's suggestion. Great image all around but a close up of the face would be fantastic!
