A beautiful creature in a fantastic setting. I like the pose and the breaking wave in the background. The composition is excellent and the subtle colors are outstanding. Sure to be a contender in the voting. Good luck.

This photo affects all senses. I can hear the ocean waves slap the rocks, smell the salt water, see the water spray....etc........and such a beautiful seal, looks like she wanted to pose for you. Nicely done and thank you for sharing!

I fell in love with this image. First time, I saw this rare subject. Perfect timing to have captured this pose. The white skin, made a nice contrast, against that rock setting. I think, you can still increase the focus, by cropping some of the sky.

A beautiful shot of this seal. The coloring is very unique and nicely captured. The white waves tend to compete with the white seal. If darken, the water would really set the seal to the forefront. Best of fortune in the contest ~ Steve
