Andreas this is one excellent capture of this Seal in it's environment,apart from it's head you would have difficulty finding this sand covered animal in the dunes,lovely and very natural.

Hi Andreas -- Your Seal images are so fun to watch , again good IQ at this size atleast, at such high iso . liked the tones as well. great low POV but the FG appears a bit distracting for my liking .

TFS !

Hi Andreas- This works well with the low pov and the open mouth takes it up a notch. Nicely done and it does look good for the high ISO.

TFS,
Rachel

Excellent techs and overall quality for such a high ISO Andreas, good low POV and not too bothered about the FG habitat for me, granted NR was used on your BG, however wondered if you used any NR on your subject?

Well captured Boetie and nicely framed too, lovely textures and colours.

Kind of a mean expression from the subject and I like the visible teeth and distended nostrils, this chap looks aggressive...

Frame looks terrific at relatively high ISO. And of course, superb PP work Andreas - I really like this, thank you so much for sharing.

Kind regards,

Yes Marc NR was used at lower opacity on the subject too

Cheers Andreas
