Manicure Needed

Grey seal front flipper - don't know about a swimming implement, looks more like it could rip your throat out.

I really like this - very nicely done!

I think this is a wonderful image, well done

Nice one Jim. Love the detail.

Jim,
Very different and very effective. Only slight slight slight nit is that bright blob on the lower claw but the seal obviously didn't have enough time to put the nail varnish on

Thanks

Adrian

Superb detail shot Jim - would never have guessed it was a seal.

Great detail shot Jim - Freddie Krugger eat your heart out

A beauty. Well seen and presented.

Love shots like this

Just superb, a really unexpected detail with just wonderful composition.

Wish i had your 'eye' for this type of shot Jim!!

What a great idea, with this particular subject, and what a fine result

Alan

Great detail and good composition. I'm with Andy regarding that bright spot. Luckily it's easy to clone out.

Cheers,
Marko

This is superb - great composition and the details and textures are superb. Tristan

Lurked too long on this one - now inspired to add a big tick from this camp - along with Frederic's tight-cropped hare it's been a good jolt that I like this style of imagery and remember to address it all to infrequently. Shame on me and well done you. Like it a lot (minor cloning as mentioned will help).

Hi Jim,

I can only add my voice to the "It's a cracker" camp. No major nits, just pure class.
Excellent work

Regards
