Yep another seal image , taken far more south on South Georgia Island in Cooper Bay .
Very misty day to take nice grey images , we had very dense haze/fog on that location in parts.
These two have been fighting very quickly , the one on the left gave up very early . There was a half circle of photogs around the scene , as the left seal ran backwards in the direction of the photogs one could see them jumping all over the place , finally one forgot his tripod with lens …………. but luckily nothing got damaged.
Could be dangerous getting too close………. from time to time .
Canon EOS MK III
Ef 24-105 IS L at 45 mm
Handheld
Cropped for comp.
F 8 ; 1/500 sec ; Iso 1000 ; should have taken F10 for more DOF
Processed with Photo Ninja and PS CC ; slight color manoeuvre in LAB ; after upload i would suggest to myself to add some mid tone for more richness in tones
Thanks for watching and leaving your thoughts on previous posts.
Cheers Andreas

Nice timing I like the poses, by mid tone what are you referring to - colour and or contrast?
I see you must have been pretty close at 45mm - not so sure I would have gone that close - I have a keen sense of self preservation!
