My previous post was of this youngster in decent light. This was taken before the shaft of sunlight illuminated the scene and shows the difference a moment can make. These were the actions I was trying to capture with this particular young seal and as is so often the case the action and light did not coincide!

I prefer this shot. If you could see the eye it would be even better, but I still like it a lot.
Surely the sun was out, he looks as if he's shielding his eyes from it.

Hello Robert.
Loved the first one you posted and I think this one works very well with the title you have given it. It just looks like he/she is saying youve had your lot and its time to go so good by.

Lovely! It would have been stronger if he had turned just a little to get the eye.

Love both of your images, but I think this one wins it for me. I too would have liked to have seen some of the eye, but it is still a very fine, and comical shot.
