Grey seal watching an incomming storm

[Krijn Trimbos]

This is from last year march. I went to Donna Nook te get shots of these animals in some nice light. Instead I caught them just before an incomming storm. At the time I didn't really like it but looking at it now displays the harsh environment these seals live in quite nicely I think. Hope you like it.

Great composition and dramatic light. It could go a tad brighter for my taste.

A fine compostion and I love the dark brooding skies. Nice use of flash to balance your exposure. Overall the image seems a bit dark. Fine capture here.

Interesting composition, I like your vertical choice. Agree it could look a little lighter...

I really like the great expanse shown here. The dramatic sky and that lonely beach make the image pretty special.

[Robert Amoruso]

An excellent image that can be made better by making it a little lighter. The proportions of the sky and sand are just right as well as the placement of the seal.

Very nice composition with a gorgeous subject.

Sorry Krijn, this doesn't work for me as the contrast looks a bit too artificial.....did you blend two exposures here?

Great dramatic light and great composition!
