Beautiful shot! Perhaps a slither off the top, personal taste though. Nicely done!

Lewis.

Nice again Jack - agree about a slither off the top (to the line of kelp thereby removing the line of white sea?) and also think it could benefit from the same processing tweak you did yesterday.

Nice one Jack,

I don't get to see these very often so I am properly jealous ! I like the crab action as well.
I would probably take some off the bottom to remove some of the OOF foreground and associated highlights. Reading the other comments I can see I am the odd one out.

Cheers

Austin

Hi Jack, this photo works very well for me :toast: On a side note I'm surprised how common you mention these are in Shetlands (in your othe´r post). I thougth these were among the must difficult mammals to get photos of in Northern Europe. I guess Shetland is their "honey pot" then... :smile:
