Am I cute?

Must be getting old to think about shots like this

I feel that this is more a 'Clintons' greeting card than an image, but I guess you have to take it to get it out of your system from time to time! However, it was even more poignant after seeing a mother a few meters away, greeving after a still birth.

Location: Galápagos

Equipment:
MKIII 300f/2.8 f/10 1/160 ISO640 hand held

Very cute with very sad eyes Steve. Some nice detail with the sand on the fur.

No Steve - you are most definitely NOT

but he/she is

I'd like to see a landscape version with some empty on the left and perhaps the right flipper not clipped!

The sort of shot that makes me want to go there - nice image Stevo

Sad looking chappy-shame about the clipped flipper but nice apart from that
