[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo is taken at Grytviken, South Georgia Island, near the cemetry. It shows a little sea-elephant baby resting next to his mom.

I was sitting down to take a photo of them and the little baby heard the "click" of my camera and had a look at me. It was a very special moment for me, so peaceful and calm.

If you have a closer look, you may see some people mirrored in its eyes.

For more pictures from my antarctica-tour, please click www.weltderfotos.de and have a look at the "Bildergalerie" (gallery). Thanks!

Hi Martin,
What a face! They have such wonderful and candid expressions! This is a good low POV and you captured very nice details with superb tones of colors. They are wonderful animals! Well done,
Claudine

I cannot understand how people can manage to kill these beautiful animals for their furs. Such a beautiful and touching portrait of this handsome young fella :)

Martin what is not to love in this face. Perfect focus on the eyes and great "skin tones" on the baby. You had to be quite close to have pulled this one off. Super!
