Found this one going through last years files. Rotated, added some canvas on top, cropped, ACR, CS5, evened out BG with some cloning, lightened eyes a bit.

Brendon,
Wonderful image, the seal looks manic, love the colours of the shallow sea.

Lovely image, great colours and strong comp.
Thanks, folks, much appreciated.
The water colour and up periscope look are first rate here Brendan, love the camo wet suit he's wearing also!

Brendan - your title is perfect. Nice comp and colors.
TFS,

Hi Brendan, doing this remotely so might not be right, but initial impression looks a little 'washed out' relating to the sea (sorry couldn't resist that one)
Just tweaked the sea to bring out more depth, detail & colour, but the colour was not changed through tweaking various colours, seal was as OP, WDYT?

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.

Agree with Steve original looked a bit washed out, his repost best.

Like the capture and Steve's repost does it for me.
