Signs of Battle

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hello folks ,
i will post many Grey Seal images from my recent trip ...:t3... hope you do not mind and become bored :w3.
As i have loads to share ....as said yesterday lots of them with high Iso .
This image contains an exhausted Seal bull who shows signs of heavy battling with another bull to have the right of getting a female for reproduction .I actually did not witness the fight , just found the bull some time after the fight .He must have been the winner as the female was close by .

Andreas I will not mind winding up the ISO to get it as good as this one,think the texture of that coat is lovely.I will look forward to reading the comments of others but I can't find any nits at all.

Hi Andreas, looks good for ISO20k, told you the MK2 is awesome.

Good detail & contrast, with some nice depth, personally I might move the whole crop down a fraction, with more below.

Steve ... well you have been right regarding the MK II , still i have to get used to the capability of that toy. No more room at the bottom :e3.

Hi Andreas - Looks pretty good for such a high ISO. Nice low pov. It's interesting how many different color tones there are to the seals. This one looks a bit more red.

TFS,
Rachel

Thanks Rachel for your comment , much appreciated .
The red color is dried blood , not the fur color !!!!
This guy had a serious fight that morning and the fur was sucked with blood , will post a serious fight later .......from some other guys !!!!
Cheers Andreas
