GIANT OTTER CATCHING FISH
Capturing the moment a giant otter pulls a fish from the water requires a degree of luck. The sun had just emerged from behind clouds, giving tricky back-lighting. Fortunately I had locked in the correct exposure. Droplets of water flying through the air convey frantic movement as the fish flails in the otter's jaws.
