22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
The ghost of the Western Isles

This is a long exposure image of an otter running on a Scottish beach. While otters are common there, it is rare to see one out in the open like this. It was visible for longer than usual as the tide was out, giving me time to grab a couple of shots.
