Seal family at the Bandon Ocean Wayside public beach in southern Oregon. Captured this just before they flopped into the water. Colors have been manipulated.
Andy, I think this is a pretty nifty capture. My only suggestion for improvement would be to crop some from the top to make it a square comp. That would also put more attention on the two seals and their apparent intense attraction to the starfish.
Thanks, Geoff.
I had thought about that crop, but for this version decided to keep that bit of background in the upper right. I'll mess around with the cropping some more before I get a print made. Edits were mostly contrast and saturation using virtural photographer plug-in, with a touch of lens blur. Oh, and some dodging around their faces.

BTW, in what way did you manipulate the colors?
