Hi Andrius,

And the added bonus is you have the option of posting this here or in the Avian gallery! I quite like how the arch of the seal follows that of the rock - it's a nice, but subtle, repeated pattern. To me this image has lots of visual interest - interesting multiple subjects, nice pattern and composition, great expression on the seal, and pleasing (to me) colour palette. And, technically it looks quite strong as well. Very well done!

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad

A wonderful photo showing these buddies. The whites are a bit hot on the gull though which I find distracting. Shooting this at -.67 EC or maybe even -1 EC would have controlled those whites and the seal wouldn't be too dark.

Cute shot! Nicely composed and good detail in the seal. Thanks for posting.

Andrius, this came out well! I, too, noticed the repeating pattern that Brad discussed. I do not think the whites overexposed. Good image. I like how he gave you a "head turn" pose.
