Harbor Seals on Ice

Norman's excellent seal shot prompted me to share a seal and pup on ice in Tracy Arm, Alaska, with reflection of blue iceberg from Sawyer Glacier. Taken on a fascinating excursion cruise out of Juneau in June.

This is beyond cool! (...pun ...and genuine reaction!! intended) The straiations in the water of the blue iceberg is fascinating....Looks like sky with the floating ice as clouds. I would love to see a portrait version that includes the iceberg. This is a winner in my book. One of the best seal shots in native habitat that I have ever seen. Ken S

Nicely composed and exposed, good job. Really like the blue reflection.

One word. WOOOOWWWWW!!!!!

I really like this image. I cannot find any faults. I think the bottom of non-blue helps with the rule of thirds.

I think this one should be published/blown up/entered into a contest. This is a great, great image!!!!! I am looking forward to seeing more from your trip.

With all these great images from Alaska, I'm rethinking my current travel plans!

Sweet Image! This is almost abstract without being abstract if that makes any sense. I love it!

Great image! I really like the colors and the play of reflections and floating ice. I may have tried to place the seals in the left so they are looking into the frame but either way it’s a great image.

This image is just absolutely striking and I am fully in agreement with all the other comments. Craig, you have a really good one here!

"Abstract without being abstract" - Eric's comment - seems to perfectly capture this image for me. I love the diagonal lines that add to the blue reflection of the iceberg. Excellent shot! Even the pose of the pup in relation to the mom is nice.
