Interesting information about raising the flippers to warm up/ Nice detail and exposure. Great colors. There is plenty of story potential here. Nice work.

Thanks, they were fun to shoot, but they were also loud, like barking dogs!

lovely shot. I love going to st martins haven to view seal pups, I have never managed to catch so many together. bet you had a great time, I find them both funny and very nosey. they look like a synchronised swimming team. I find picture a little bit busy but well done

I think the number of seals raising their flippers makes the shot.
But thank you for your opinion.

Thanks for the nice review. When one travels one never knows what will show up. The seals totally took us by surprise when our goad was a simple walk down the pier.

Cool! :)
You're very welcome,my friend!
