Great full and interesting composition here. The feeling is fun and playful. The lighting and tonality are handled expertly to show color and detail.

Such a very simple image, but such a beautiful one! I had no idea why seals stuck their flippers up in the air, geeze I thought they were all volunteering for the food patrol :) but because of this image I understand nature better. I love that, and I love your image! I would not change a thing!

I love it. Where was this taken? I didn't know that seals raise their flippers to warm up. The focus is clear and crisp. The lighting is gorgeous. Great composition. So nice.

What a fun shot! Love the notes that explain your wonderful image.

Love the mix of colors in the water, and the way you captured the sun in both the water and the seals.

Nicely done!
