Harbor seal, tight on the right side
Less than ideal light made me underexpose parts of this image to save the highlights. To be honest, I sometimes like the effect. Almost like a spotlight.

It works great in this case - nice shot!

Nice one!. How did you get him to pose for you. Did you dangle a fish in front of him? :rolleyes:

No, I didn't dangle any fish in front of him, but have a feeling some fisherman have probably thrown it some scraps in the past.

I think the exposure is just right. Cute pic...but somehow that out of focus rock is catching my eye too much.
