Leucistic (I think) bull elephant seal, Right Whale Bay, South Georgia Island. I cloned out some water in the upper left corner, and some distracting sticks and rocks on the right edge. Used Nik Detail Extractor on just the seal, it really opened up the eyes from the raw file. As I learned a few days later on the ship from Clemens Vanderwerf, I need to generally stop down more (like f/16 here). I was on my knees, I don't recall if it was handheld (probably) or using a tripod.
!D-IV, 70-200 f/2.8 at 123mm, ISO 400, 1/160 at f/8 in aperture priority.
