that's a superb image Steve. The colours and pose are fantastic. It looks just about perfect to me.

The richness of colour of the seal blends beautifully with the blue BG. Nice pose too. :wavey:

Very nice indeed Steve. I just love those gracefully curving lines: one running from the eye down the neck and continuing through to the flipper and the other along the back and rump. The colours and background are delightful as has already been mentioned.
