[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As I already told you in my first posts on TN HERE and HERE, my girlfriend and I spent our last day of our NZ-holiday in Kaikoura. Kaikoura is a wonderful place and we saw some fantastic animals there. At some point we were walking on a rocky beach and we suddenly stood in the middle of a Sealcolony. They were everywhere. The one on the picture is one of my favourites. She is looking over the rocks as if she's asking; "Hey, who's making that noise?! I want to sleep!"

More info on Kaikoura can be found HERE

Now please tell me what you think. Hit me with your fierce criticism!

Ps-Lesley, I didn't use autolevel this time and tried to level it myself. I do think the result is better. Thanks for your advice!

Good close-up shot of the seal Pieter. Her fur shows up well, and luckily not her breath. And she tones in well with the rocks. No complaints from me. Well done.

Nice picture Pieter.

Such a nic epose, Pieter. Nice DOF and sharp details. My only nit would be some catchlight in the eye. Well done.

One of my very favorite critters. I'm hoping we'll spot a few while kayaking in NZ? I'm assuming that she wasn't too concerned about your close proximity... she looks perturbed perhaps, but not anxious. Nice photo. Jennifer

HI Pieter , Très belle composition, et tout a fait originale

Personal assessment of the photo: great.
Good visual impact.
Aptness of the photo for the site: excellent.
Personal assessment of the note: complete with links.
Thank you very much Pieter. Very present you are on TN.

Excellent capture - the expression on the face is priceless. I really need to get a zoom lens but I think someone mentioned that the Olympus can't have one...what a bummer!

I really like your POV and great focus, as always.
