Seal and Pup
Went to Donna Nook on Monday where about 15 Seal Pups have been born. I could only observe from the viewing area, as I had been informed earlier that the mortality rate of those born further out was 5 times greater than those where I took this picture. There wasn't really much choice as it was rather early in the year. Very little processing done - just small crop, levels and little sharpening in CS3
1/1000"
F8
Aperture priority
ISO 320
-0.33EV
Evaluative
C & C always very welcome.
