    Hi Everyone!
    I'm not sure that I have posted in this part of the forum before, so here goes!!
    This image was taken a couple of weekends ago at Donna Nook, a missile range on the east coast of England, where the atlantic grey seals go to give birth. This little chap still had his umbilical chord attached, but I cloned it out. This is full frame and only the usual basic adjustments were done.
    1D Mk 3 300 f/2.8 + 2 x TC
    ISO 800
    f/7.1 1/500 sec
    Exp comp @ + 0.67
    Look forward to comments and critiques!
    Best regards,
    Nicki

    PS This was taken during a sandstorm!!

    Hi Nicki - I'm a little late but I wanted to congratulate you on a fabulous shot. Very unique with the blowing sand on the little guy. I love this image.
