Hi,
One from a very enjoyable day on Saturday. Have just returned from my travels and this is a very bleary eyed process, whilst I was toasting crumpets for tea, so may have lots of problems, have loads to work through which should keep me out of trouble for a few days...
Will try to catch up with as many posts as I can depending on my work load over the next few days (hopefully it should be quiet}
All the best
Phil

hi phil
great image, like this alot, seal is great contrast from the bg, great detail and muted colour of animal, you must be well chuffed
Nice, the sea looks amazing more like a vat of milk.

Hi Phil
This is great ! You've done well with seals this year.
The water/sea formation makes it so different.
cheers

With all that froth it's almost HK, some very nice detail on the seal and well controlled for all that white..

Love the detail in the wave here - really creamy look which prevents the shot becoming totally high-key.

Nice one Phil, as already mentioned, the wave looks so good, the expression on the seals face is very nice too.

Really dramatic Phil - I like it a lot.
Being hyper, hyper critical, the top left corner pulls my eye a little and I'd be tempted to clone a white bit in. Obviously I'm being exceedingly picky - this is a fabulous shot.
Cheers,
Chris

That is very nice Phil. Love the milky effect in the water, and the seal looks as though she is enjoying herself too. Great stuff.
