Very sharp, most your shots are :clap
#1 is the one I like best, but I think I'd like all three the same if you crop OOF foreground a bit more, JMO though :D

Thanks Ben.

I agree on the crop, but I only crop using proportional sizes of either 6x9, 5x7, or 8x10. This will not allow removing the background and keeping the full otter.:cry It makes it easier for prints and forces me to make sure I'm thinking about the comp when taking the shot. Apparently I failed to do that here.:uhoh

Next time I'll need to use the right lens for a better comp. FYI, this was the 85mm that I was using previously for a couple of flower shots.

Excellent. I especially like #3.
