That little mouth of the otter is "clearly" cute. The wet background gives the photo the required fluid if one wants to feel purified.

Ah.
I'm trying to. Can't decide on a picture. Submitted last year, got nothing. Kind of a bummer considering that I pretty much live at the zoo and take pictures.

I've already entered a few contests. One of which I saw the results and had high hopes for, but nothing. Was quite depressed after that. And I doubt I'll enter any of the other ones. There's a wildlife refuge annual contest, no hopes of that one because I don't have that awesome lens... or too much luck. One is a national wildlife federation contest, high doubts for that, and there is an Audubon contest, not really any hopes for that one either. And Costco has an 'enter your best photo' contest. Highly doubtful of that one too.
But I'm hoping to see some familiar faces in the AZA one.

Well, duno if you've visited Ridgefield Washing for that contest. Pictures have to be taken on that refuge unit.
For the costco one you have to be a member, here's a link anyway. [link]
Here's the Audubon contest. Deadline is soon! [link]
I think the National Wildlife Federation contest may have passed.

And I think that might be all?
