Hi there Paul. I am a friend of your brother Andy. :) I have been to this exact same spot and there even is a photo in my TN-portfolio of such a fur seal on this same rocky beach. Your photo is however way better! I was still shooting with a compact camera in auto mode then and I understand you have a 400D (why don't you add your camera and lens(es) to your equipment profile?). Anyway, I think this is a very good picture. It's very sharp, very well composed and the exposure is really just right. Unlike your brother I don't really dislike the fact you cropped the flipper. I think, now you cropped rather a lot of the flipper, this doesn't necessarily mean the composition suffers or anything. On the contrary. Well, it's all a matter of taste I think. ;) How did you like NZ? BTW: I haven't uploaded any pics to the TN or TE for ages but you can see some recent photos from my hand (or my wife's) on www.saner.nl

I like it a lot. It looks like a scene from the Southwest of the US. I like the clouds especially, although they are a little bit noisy. The POV & DOF are very good. TFS!

Hehehe, I like the pose a lot! This is a nice picture, but the focus is in my eyes a little soft. It's almost as if you focussed on the rusty nails instead of on the squirrel. Anyway, nice shot. TFS!

This is a very nice shot of a sterling, Gert. The nestingmaterial in it's beak is a great bonus. Well taken, good colors, sharp details and excellent composition. Well done & TFS!
