My first time to Donna Nook and what a day. Apart from being blasted by sand in the high winds we were also blasted by freezing snow blizzards. Yet, in between the s--te weather there were occasional periods of sunshine. I found this little chap enjoying what seemed to be his first experience of water, albeit in a small water filled ditch.

Now this is really excellent, a Donna Nook shot with a difference, and that isn't easy to achieve.
It really is quite outstanding, in all respects.

A seal and no sand! Different and all the better for it.

It makes a pleasant change to see an image of these subjects thats different to the norm.

Lovely, very different from the norm and super sharp too. Great pose as well!

A refreshingly different shot from the Nook.

Like this... only thing I would change is to get rid of that bright specular highlight in the OOf BG
