Grey Seal Bull

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks ...
it is oh sooo quiet here :eek3:

Only time for a quick image that needed not much of processing due to its nature as captured .
Light was bright and boring ... daytime with the lovely white and bright sky , meaning no nice blue ocean . No wind as you can see in the flat waters ....
I was positioned close to the waters edge and this guy came to check me out ...
Image taken on Helgoland in may this year

Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous postings

As a technical exercise it has been done well, colour tone and detail is up to your usual standard - high!
Visual appeal? Well it sparks some curiosity but I find myself going from head to tail repeatedly so I do not really settle and enjoy the image as much as I do your others.

Hi Jon , thanks so much for your honest comment .
Much appreciated ... I fully understand your thoughts about the attractively of this shot .
Just found myself looking for a " different " seal shot .... and thought this is one :bg3:. Knowing that the applause will be very limited .... LOL .

Cheers Andreas
