This guy let me approach to about 8 ft away at the beach yesterday.

Slight crop for composition

Sweet typical pose, well framed. I'd like to see it a little warmer. Great exp and detail.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Nice angle and details. I also like the composition and might increase the saturation a few points.

Agree with previous and would suggest making several when you have breaking surf. Will be able to choose all blue or a combo !!! I like it a lot !!!

Nice restful pose, with lovely light and feather details. In addition to the above comments I would up the sharpening a bit for web presentation.
