[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While taking a boat tour of Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska I managed to spot this guy guarding his little piece of the world. The park is located in the southern portion of the Kenai Peninsula and offers many activities. Hiking to the Exit Glacier is very popular as is taking a boat tour through the Fjords to see calving glaciers and hoards of marine wildlife.

Great capture. Although its a lovely scene i personaly feel i would prefer if it was cropped a bit as to make the seals more of a focal point
Well done for keeping it steady while on a boat

Bonjour Mike,
Très belle scène sauvage, les couleurs de la mer ressortent vraiment, l'animal se font parfaitement dans son environnement.
Bonne journée

Hi Mike,
Nice sharp image here with lovely tones. It is perfectly exposed. I just wish the subject wasn't so centered. But a great shot nonetheless! Congrats!

Yep side by side, how could that happen.
Glad to see one of the Alaska images. Either lucky lighting on the seal or good PP work with Nikon Capture NX, either way great color on the rocks and composition.
