Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Olympus E-500 EVOLT
Lens: Olympus 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Zuiko Digital
Location: Somerset
Date: Oct 3, 2007
Aperture: f4.5
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/200
Galleries: Nature, Animals
Date Uploaded: Mar 10, 2009

 Have chopped and changed my mind over what shot to put into this special challenge and decided on this one of a young otter because it is such a rare sight.

Very little editing ... boosted the colours slightly, marginal sharpening and saved for web.
