Grey Seals at Dawn + Repost
Went to the Nook last Sunday with Thomas and had a frantic ten minutes as the Sun was rising. The rest of the morning was rubbish with flat grey light but that ten minutes was worth the trip. This Male and Female were courting in the Surf as the sun came up.

Canon EOS 1D MK11, 500mm Lens, F8, 1/100, ISO Rating 200

Happy New Year to you all :toast:

Tho i'd be tempted to clone out that golden bit in the surf(thats to the right inline to they're heads).Its drags the eye off the main subjects IMO.
