Taken at Donna Nook last week,what motivated me to take this photo and stay on my belly for some time was that i wanted the seals to come a shore around me, this seal did just that! it was anice moment in nature!! I like how the water has frozen on the head, the light on the seal is nice to i feel, it was a great day!

A seal with a translucent comb-over

Blimey I was just about to write the same line!
A very good image that is made better by the humourous edge that the "comb-over" gives it, ace!

Very nice indeed Craig. Perhaps try to selectively lighten the head and lift the eye. I'll bet you enjoyed that moment in time.

An excellent capture if I ever saw one, a tad tight at the top for me, but easily fixed. As I said an excellent capture.

Nice... agree just a little tight at the top but the action captured is great.
