    Hello folks ,
    i will post many Grey Seal images from my recent trip ...... hope you do not mind and become bored .
    As i have loads to share ....as said yesterday lots of them with high Iso .
    This image contains an exhausted Seal bull who shows signs of heavy battling with another bull to have the right of getting a female for reproduction .I actually did not witness the fight , just found the bull some time after the fight .He must have been the winner as the female was close by .

    Andreas I will not mind winding up the ISO to get it as good as this one,think the texture of that coat is lovely.I will look forward to reading the comments of others but I can't find any nits at all.

    Hi Andreas, looks good for ISO20k, told you the MK2 is awesome.

    Good detail & contrast, with some nice depth, personally I might move the whole crop down a fraction, with more below.

    Hi Andreas - Looks pretty good for such a high ISO. Nice low pov. It's interesting how many different color tones there are to the seals. This one looks a bit more red.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    The colour contrasts works so well here. Looks like it was a tough battle!
