Heres a few pictures of some sea otters from Resurrection Bay in Alaska.. They were rolling around and playing with each other so much I took about 50 shots of these guys alone. All of them were taken from a boat on a very cloudy overcast day. These are some of the best otter pictures that I have taken, in my opinion.

did you crop these or are they full fram? If so you guys got pretty close. Nice pics, but i think that 300L is junk, you should give it to me! :)

These are great. I love'em. Very cool captures. These guys are adorable! Did you use a polarizing filter to cut down on glare from the water? Thanks!

OTTERS
MAJESTIC OTTERS.

I'm jealous you got to see them, let alone get sweet shots like this.
I love them, great work.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, it is greatly appreciated! I really do love these guys and am always looking for an opportunity to take more pictures of them.

Sure, I can swing by your house and drop it off tonight! To answer your question, yes, these are crops; but I did not have to crop it very much from the original shot.
