Grey Seals

We have a fairly big population of Common Seals in the southwestern part of Holland. Grey Seals on the other hand are less common here. The seals don't come ashore very often, but mainly rest on sandbanks further off the coast. At an outlet sluice where North Sea water is drained into a salt lake, you van see both species regularly. Last week I spent some time there, at incoming tide. A few Grey Seals where playing at the entrance of the sluice.

Hi Sandra, what a lovely image.

Nice to see two so close together in the water, the foam and waves add lots of interest.

excellent shot, really like the poses and lighting

Sandra, agree with the other comments - great shot. Love the eyes, facial expressions and teeth in the rh seal.

Nice to see a different take on a familiar species and you've done well to get them both sharp. The choppy water gives it that extra dimension

Lovely Shot Sandra like the pose and lighting very nice

A very nice shot Sandra. Well captured.

Good pose of the two Seals and a feeling of the power of water depicked by wave and foam.

Major.

Hello Sandra.

Lovely capture of the two seals and I love in front of them with the natural waves behind. I also find that the light just catching the seal as lifted them nicely.
