I agree completely with the previous critique, very sharp and nicely composed. Exposure is spot on as well. My only criticism is that you cropped off his flipper at the bottom. Apart from that, perfect.

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

Regards,
Pieter
