Nice expressions they have and I like the FG ones flipper position. I would crop some off the top and sharpen the image some more. The water is not as interesting as the critters so best to accentuate them more.
we don't see marine animals enough on the forum, Ian!
nice poses, though I do agree the high angle isn't too flattering, and somehow I don't think you had enough SS as both seals' heads seem slightly soft?
I would also tone down some highlights overall for more "pop"
Thanks for the comments. I'm working on my laptop as I travel, which is not ideal. Here it is with a bit of crop, some levels, and a bit more sharpening.
