Pup
Went to *that place* today, and it was absolutely stuffed with people, I ended up in the marsh area by myself and a few of the pups which had left the sanctuary.

This pup was busy splashing about in one of the channels.

Skimmer pod

Something different to the usual pup shot - the colours and reflection really work.

I do like this Tim - not a treatment I remember seeing before - works very well :wavey:

Good shot.
The pup looks sad and the reflection of the horizon just remembers me of some cartoons where people or animals are crying and have there eyes filled half with tears.
This could be a very good picture for some pollution campaign (hope this is the right word) or something like that to save the seals.

Not the "usual" pup shot and it works well. Wasnt sure about the plant in front of the nose, but its not too obtrusive.

Yeah that looks pretty good with a nice reflection and good light tones too.

A great shot as usual! How many seal photos do you have now by the way...lol :biggrin:
Posted by Tim Gregory on December 8, 2008 at 2:25 PM
Cheers guys,

Lol Richard - not as many as you think actually, I gave up at the weekend and focused on the sanderlings after a while, there was far too many people!
