Grey Seals

[Jasper Doest]

Here's another one from one of my previous seal workshops. I liked the intimate pose here.

Really cute! It is a very intimate image. Could you darken the head of the FG seal just a bit?

[Robert Amoruso]

I agree with Ed on the head darkening.

Jasper,
I like the composition and the intimate pose.

Cheers,

Hi mate,

Nice to see you here again! And am looking forward to tomorrow being able to go out shooting a little bit (I need it!!!).

Regarding the shot, I respectfully dissagree with the people commenting on the lightness of the head of the lower seal. It doesn't bother me at all, and feel it is due to individual variance in colour. I like the braking wave in the BG, low angle, the nice light and the strong form the seals make. If anything I would have wanted a bit more eye contact with the lower seal or a bit more interaction with the seal on top, highly personal though.

Nice one and see you tomorrow!
