Newborn Harbor Seal. Maybe two hours old.

Very powerful. If you have more water canvas and less of the rock and algae, it would really help. To me the BG is distracting and ugly.

Extremely high cuteness factor here. I agree with Phil about the BG. Maybe this could be cropped though I obviously don't know to what extent this has already been cropped.

The background doesn't bother me here. I think the photo is excellent. The interaction between parent and child is priceless - and beautifully captured. Well done!

Neat shot. The fin looks like mom is scratching the little one's head.
