On the tiny island of Düne, near Helgoland, there is a rather large colony of Grey Seals present. Observing their behaviour for a while was really nice and provided me with a lot of pictures. This one obviously needed a backup ...
The picture is taken on a tripod with a Nikon D80 and Sigma 50-500 mm @ 500 mm, iso 200, f 8, 1/800 and slightly cropped.

Lovely shot Sandra.

Yes I really like the subtle colouring of this image. The subjects and BG really blend nicely.
The Sigma 50-500 can really produce the goods, in the right hands of course :wink:

Very nice indeed. Wonderful pose/interaction between the seals and the combination of grey seals against that lovely aqua-marine backdrop is most attractive.
