Out of all of the animals I encountered on the Galapagos islands, the Seals by far, got my attention every time. Some funny moments, some sad, but most of the time you just sat and watched!

Hi Steve,
the happy/sad tale behind this sounds interesting - care to share some war stories?
Lovely shot, superb clarity.

Nice shot Steve - you do get about don't you
Only nit for me would be the foreground hiding the flipper tips - just a detail I know
OK Mark and before anyone says, no I'm not getting soft
In the space of an afternoon we saw, new arrivals being born, parental mums, still born with grieving mums, pups in distress having had been attached by sharks, lost pups looking for it's parents, to contented ones. Yes, it's life and one can't change that, but it is still hard to look on, when you have the above looking at you!

Break out the Kleenex someone
If so you could try it in landscape size and put the seal complete on it. I think that would be a nice one too.
Cracking shot can't wait to see more from your wonderful trip
