Love the water on this one Jeroen, the way the seal is bursting out of the waves is very nice, just needs a little more room around the seal for me. A image full of impact.

A little tight maybe but it's still a great action shot :smile:
Well done.

Geoff.

Nice to see a slightly different image of a seal. The water swirls and splashes work incredibly well. Nice one Jeroen. :wavey: :toast:
