One from a very enjoyable day with Andy Snape, Mike Windle & and my lad - perhaps the nicest Donna day I've had in the last 3 years.

The place was deserted - wonderful.

But to be honest I think the seals have had enough - but that's another subject in its' own right..

D3
200-400 f4 + x1.7TCE2 (650mm) Handheld (with witnesses :biggrin: )
ISO 800
1/1250 @ f7.1
AFC - High - Single
PP LR3 & CS3

I think the clue is in the title Andy, isn't? :biggrin:

Good see the weather was kind to you.

Works very nicely with just the one eye visible, nicely composed :smile:

A lovely image Andy, very well done for a hand held shot with that lens mate! The seal looks a little interested, but not all that bothered. :wink: :wavey:

Hello Andy.

Great looking shot and the splashing water is really nice and the composition is spot on. I also really like the foam in the brown water as I feel it give more interest and fills the space very nicely.

The only nit for me is I just wish the eye was clear, but I'm sure you could have sorted that out if you had wanted to.

I think he looks as though he's enjoying his splash. Great timing Andy, lovely shot. :toast:
