[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A change from the birds for today.
This Seal was chilling out on the rock around Lundy, this shot was taken from the boat on the Atlantic side of the island, there were quite a few seals about but this is the closest we managed to get and the best picture of them that I managed.

Thanks to all who view and comment on this picture.

He's a cracker! Nice shot Andy!

You got the focus just right - hard to do when on a boat!

Beautiful shot!

Hello Andy,

He is full of ego!
Look how he is posing for the camera!
Superb details and very well composed, using a nicely sharp f/g against a slightly blurred b/g.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Have you ever thought of postiong some of your nature shots on TrekNature?

pl :-)

That isn't something you see every day, what a great photo! The seal is so neat, and the water and surroundings look great as well!
