Just had this old song from .... Donna Summer in mind ... when i went through old folders from 2017 . Well the seal love is quite rough for our human thinking ......specially from the males side .
Found this couple on the more open beach of Helgoland ...
The blood is coming from the fights, that the male was involved to get this lady on its own .
Looks somehow brutal ... but thats how it goes in nature at times.

Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posting .
It looks sharp enough to me Andreas, something that size can't move very far in 1/1000sec I don't think! I guess it was a dull drab day and I am sure the colours are realistic, just for interest I downloaded and added vibrance layer set at 20, I think it gave the image a little boost... but I accept that may not what you wanted to portray.
Thanks John for your comment .... indeed a dull drab day . No need of more color from my side . But for sure one can boost something if needed as a personal pref .
Hi Andreas -- Nice moment and again I liked the IQ and details, they make the image for me. Framing works as presented . I might add some punch to the image, a slight curve adjustment as it appears a bit flat to me , and hence my question, was it misty ? You certainly mentioned a dull drab day but some punch wont harm i guess , matter of taste I guess.
