Now that's what I call flaking out! Just a bit tight in the frame for me. Lovely otherwise. :smile:

Agree with other comments re more space but a super image. The detail is phenomenal. The seal's fur looks like velvet. :toast:

Think we both have a few nits.......lol, fab place, can see why you've cropped this tight too, good to try something different!

Nicely done Mark. The only nit has been well documented already.

that's a nice shot Mark, I don't mind them big in the frame sometimes.

He's certainly a frame filler Mark, love the expression too.

I think the tightness in frame highlights the size of the subject. Great subject.

I like them both a lot as you already know, but it is a mystery to me why the first seemed to get such little interest. If anything I think it was my favourite.

As has been said, I think the full frame emphasises the size of this fella - well done Mark :toast:
