After Will's posting, he jogged my memory to revisit a shot taken in Svalbard on a zodiac. These Seals are always curious and great to photograph.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.

I've left the whisker reflections in, some may have preferred to have them removed because they appear messy.
Hi Steve, this looks so cute, I like the little head above water and the reflection along with the curious look. The colours are nice and the sharpness great!
Very sweet capture, great techs, wonderful opportunity well taken. Light is gorgeous and subject appears to be perfectly still, I quite like the HA too.
Cute pose and I love the reflection, whiskers and all. Framing works well and colours are superb, there's almost a "metallic" sheen to the Seal's coat.
Oh and Sanjeev is right, sharpness is great! So is IQ. Wish all my images looked this good, stunning work Steve
Hi Steve ..... just a cracking image !!!!!
Very well executed, love the tonal range and the colors ..... brilliant work .
The slight head turn makes this a very good portrait .
A pleasure to view .
