Hi Steve what a fat brother of my seals ... must have been a big guy .... do they grow bigger up in Svalbard ?
I like the pose of the seal and the rock he is lying on , lovely colors and tones .Very nice IQ and superb fine details as always ...... and expected .
Have you had the MK II already on the Svalbard trip ....
If you have lightened the eyes .... i might temper that back ... when looking at the angle of light i would expect the eyes to be darker , just my impression .
Hi Steve, I don't know much about seals, but here you have a very fat one on the rock creating a nice high vantage point. Your techs are good as usual. The eyes look fine to me. I find the dark band up top a little distracting. I'd suggest taking a sliver off the top, you will see the seal popped more. Loi
Hi Loi, nothing I can do about the beach behind, that's what it is sadly. If you go tighter it cramps the subject too much, but as an alternative... but too sterile for me.
Hi Steve -- As always details and IQ spot on ! And i liked your RP , though sterile but definitely isolates the subject much better . By the looks of the seal it appears as it had a head shave quite recently .
Hi Steve - This just works on all levels. Nice low pov, details and inclusion of habitat. I prefer the op though might tame the specular hls along the beach just slightly.
