Walrus
Spent alot of time photographing Walrus in Svalbard as I think they are great fun and when they are resting together you can get some good stuff as they are so bad tempered with each other and can also be very intimate as well. This shot really caught my eye because of the fact that it looks a good way of keeping your ears warm but then again Walrus's can fart with the best of them.

Canon 1D MK11, 500mm Lens, F10, 1/100, ISO 200

Very interesting image, good texture, and colour, plus its interesting behaviour and looks kind of touching too.

The detail in the whiskers is amazing, they look like bug's eyes/

Lovely work.
